I really don't know what editor I'm using, since I'm just reading the
Usenet conference messages on the shark.cs.fau.edu system.
  The main prompt while looking at messages is "Qs>" for whatever that's
worth.  One of the available commands is "follow", which 
automatically quotes the message you're responding to.  But it seems
to me that I have to delete each line one at a time, rather than in a 
block.  Sorry I don't have any more info, but I'm new at this internet 
thing, and I'm trying to learn.
Mark.
