Two other reasons:
1. To make the brief message more meaningful and clean.
2. Because It Can Be Done.

Alrighty, then. Here goes. Grk. In IE5.0.2919.6307, ctl-L is a shortcut for
Open. Which is kinda funny, because the menu shows the shortcut for that
command is ctl-O (which also works, btw).
Let's try the other thingy. Nope, nothing from [Alt][0][1][2]. Or from [Alt]
[1][2].

Nice feature of Forte Agent - if you highlight some text, then click FollowUp,
the highlighted text is sucked in as the quote.
Bad feature of Forte Agent - if you've highlighted some text in a message,
then click FollowUp, the highlighted text is the only thing sucked in as the
quote.
