Behavior changed? Or am I confused?

Hi,

So I used to (I thought) be able to select text in a message and hit forward and a write window came up with just the selected text in it and not the entire message (including headers).

I distinctly remember having to go extra steps when I actually wanted to include all the headers in a message and now that is the default?

The expected behaviour (selected text being the only thing in the message) works as it used to when using "reply".

How do I revert the behaviour of the forward to the same way a reply works?

And if you happen to know, when and why did it change?

Thanks

D.

Forward selected text doesn't happen with either 115 or 128, and I don't think it ever did.

As for headers, set View/Headers to Normal. Press Alt if View is hidden.
