   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!
