Quoting others' quotes

[Arndt]

Often when I'm replying to a reply someone else has made to someone, I'd like to keep both (parts of) the original question, and of the response. I think I have seen posts like that, and I may even have produced some. But now, it seems all I can choose between is either no quotes at all, or just the material from the post I'm replying to. To the lower right of the post I see a button called "enable multi-quoting for this post", but it doesn't seem to do anything for me.

(Of course, I can copy and paste and compose the post any way I want, but that's more tedious.)

Does this function exist, or have I been dreaming?

If you click on the multi-quote toggle for the posts you would like to quote, when you then click on the quote button for a post all of the posts you've selected to multi-quote (and the one you are quoting) should show up in the in the reply window.
i.e., nothing will happen when you select multi-quote until after you click on a quote button.

Hope that made sense.

Yes, it did. Thanks! I never thought of using it on more than one posting. But there seems to be a bug somewhere, because when I tried it first just now, I got not only mine and your post, but some completely unrelated ones too.

How about quotes within quotes? Maybe I haven't seen those, just code within quotes.

For that reason I don't use the multi quote feature because I was getting these random quotes from someplace else.
