That's prior to realizing there was an undo.  But I only did the 1-7 above  
a handful of times.  Most of the time I have been careful not to need  
that.

Regarding "nice ordered list".. that's because I find something like this:
1. I save the current message  2. go back to the original  3. launch a  
quote-reply  4. copy the text I want into the clipboard  5. exit that  
message and *don't* save it.  6. go back to the Unsent message and open it  
to Edit.  7. plop in the block.   ..is harder to read.

Man.. I think I've getting pretty good at the block edit commands!
