   I'm in agreement with all that apart from, with my tests, it didn't     
   always appear to quote the messages in sequence. Until I got bored     
   with it, I'd come to the conclusion that the sequence depended on the     
   order in which the messages were marked(but I could be wrong).

   Me neither and I only ever remember using it once in 25 years!
