Instant Quoting in Gmail

Seems there's a little known - but extremely useful - feature in Gmail that can help you lots when you want to to quote something when answering to an email.

You just need to select the text you want to quote on the email you received before pressing reply, and when you do Gmail will automatically quote just that excerpt for you, instead of adding it all to the reply.

This way, an email conversation can become a lot more readable, instead of piling up everything - wasting space and making it a lot more messy to track down (though Gmail also does a great job of hiding out most of the useless stuff.)
