<div dir="ltr">> Replying from my SGP 4.2 with the "Respond inline".<br>> There's a block of text between tags:<br>><br>> ******* begin text ******<br>[redacted]<br>> ******* end text *****<br>
><br>> Which I could easily cut out on any Pc but definitely not on my device.<br><br><div>Perhaps I'm missing something, but can't you long-press a word to enter</div><div>selection mode, move the start and end markers to the appropriate</div>
<div>locations, and then tap the backspace key to delete the selection? Or</div><div>alternatively cut it via the "cut" button?</div><div><br></div><div>Note that this is on Android 4, and I assume you SGP is running Android</div>
<div>2. My last device was running Android 2 and I don't remember the</div><div>selection mode being significantly different, but it would be nice if</div><div>someone can verify this.</div><br>> I am not sure if any other email clients would allow me so. I think this is an intrinsic limitation of these devices.<br>
<br>> Have you noticed that inline responding messes up with line breaks and arrows?<br>><br><br><div>Just noticed that when I saw how my text looks in your reply. Sadly,</div><div>Gmail on the mobile doesn't seem to do line wrapping, so my text ends up</div>
<div>being more than 80 characters long.</div><div><br></div><div>Indeed, it does mess up with line length when sending from the mobile,</div><div>so I'll do a quick wrap fix on the PC before sending this off. No reason</div>
<div>for the incompetence of my email client to result in badly formatted</div><div>messages reaching the list :-)</div><div><br></div><div>By the way, I would think that the "no wrap on send" issue would be</div>
<div>present regardless of whether I'm responding inline or not - do you know</div><div>if that is the case?</div><div><br></div>> And what to do with this big unquoted block of text below? I will not be able to remove it.<br>
><br>> The bad news is that this is going to happen by default on the PC too with the so called new improved composing experience.<br>><br><br><div><div>I'm sorry, I'm not sure which block of text you're referring to. I can</div>
<div>delete all parts of the original message (also in inline mode), both on</div><div>the mobile and on the desktop, including in the new composing mode.</div><div>Doesn't that work for you when you click the "show trimmed text" button,</div>
<div>the one that looks like three dots?</div></div><div><br></div><div style><div>PS from the PC: if you end up editing your mobile drafts on the PC,</div><div>it'll probably be useful to remove text formatting from the draft at the</div>
<div>start. Seems the mobile client switches to "Rich mode"</div></div></div>
