Reply with selected message quote in iPhone Mail

Have you ever received a long email message but only wanted to quote a specific sentence or paragraph when replying? In Apple Mail, you would simply highlight the portion of text you wished to quote before clicking the Reply button. This feature is now available on your iPhone if you’ve upgraded to the iPhone OS 3.0 Software Update. Here’s how.

To select text, touch and hold to position the insertion point where you wish to begin quoting text. Then tap Select when the selection buttons appear and drag the grab points with your finger to select more or less text.

When you have selected the appropriate text, tap the Reply button and only the highlighted text will be quoted in your iPhone Mail reply message.
