ADDED EDITING HERE!!!

e.g.:
Code:

In the quick reply, just below the text box you can choose to quote the entire text of the message you are replying to. If you move on to advanced you can edit that text for clarity/brevity/etc.

So
1. Click on 'quick reply to this message' in rh corner of post.
2. In Quick Reply box select "Quote message in reply" (You won't actually see the quoted text yet)
3. Click on Go Advanced at bottom.
4. Bob's your uncle.
