Help Email Question

[dahbee]

I've only had my Droid 3 for a few days and I think I've got most of it figured out. What I can't figure out is how to reply to an email without the quoted text. Is there a way to turn it off?

(I hope I'm posting this in the right forum.)

Welcome to Android Forums, dahbee.

Yep, you are posting in the right area.

You can either disallow quoting text in replies, via the preferences menu in the email app, or you can long press the text field and then hit the delete button.

If it's Gmail, those choices aren't there.

Gentle correction: in the GMail app, there is a checkbox below the compose mail box that says "include text" - checked by default - that you can uncheck to reply without quoting.

I can't find that setting in the stock droid 3 email app. Where is that located?

Hi Fascinated,

I'm not finding that email option either. I don't use gmail, I use my old aol account. For some reason, cutting and deleting aren't working for me very well, so what I have found out is I can touch the sender's email address in the email until the menu pops up and choose "send email" which opens up a clean email box.

I'm very very new at this obviously.
