Okay so I am finally starting to understand why you do that. Can somebody make a mail client that works just like TextWrangler so you can have that kind of functionality without all the copy and pasting Barry? Oh wait, that's kind of like going back to the old way of reading email when we used to use Pine or vi or whatever and a lot of people just couldn't use email because they couldn't understand it (or even execute a simple series of steps that they didn't have to understand, they just had to do). So now we've progressed so far that all those people can use The Email and they can even use The Photoshop, but people like us (well, you) have to cut and paste like maniacs? Is this the world that the technologists (we?) have created, one where we can't even use tools that work perfectly well, because the organization doesn't think that's important, but our bosses can color-code and highlight the very detailed lists of tasks they email us?
