How do I include a quote (in grey?) from a previous post so that it is included in my reply to that post? Thank you.

This is the expected result of the others' responses.

If you only want to quote a selection, it is harder. The first time you hit the "quote" icon you get the entire previous post whether you want it or not. Do command z to undo, then paste the selection, highlight it, and then do it a second time and it will usually post only the selection:

No guarantees however.

Use the quote (") at the bottom of your Reply box.

When I want to quote a selection, I create the quote box first then copy & paste the selection, it seems to work more often that way.

Will give it a try.
