J,
It works for the first instance (the case of selecting and copying text makes it appear automatically, and indented, at the top of the response, as it did here), but nowhere afterwards without all kinds of futzing around.
Ok, thanks for saying that. Now I see the problem. I hadn't ever selected part of the original message before clicking
Reply. I'd always clicked
Reply then
Quote Whole Post.
The result differs in one significant way: I've never been trying to copy and paste additional material from the original message. That means I (generally) don't need to use the
Blockquote button within a message.

Nope. But not fair since that was a quote.

Still no.

takes TWO clicks on the return key.
Not sure what's going on there, but not my experience.
I did see one thing that will probably help Mark, if he can fix it: the message body typed by the user gets surrounded by a paragraph element. The whole body, with all of its lines and paragraphs within it. But not the top-posted quote, if any. I think that surrounding paragraph element is what causes the
Blockquote button to quote the whole message body.
