Me, I despise that style of email, but iPhone Mail doesn&rsquo;t really work well any other way. One problem is that the iPhone doesn&rsquo;t support the concept of selected text. That means you can&rsquo;t just select a specific portion to quote of the message you&rsquo;re replying to; nor can you select a chunk of the quoted message and delete it while editing. The only way to delete text is one character at a time (although the keyboard does let you press-and-hold to repeat). And to top it off, there&rsquo;s no way to reply without quoting anything at all.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nNot a surprise, but noteworthy nonetheless: iPhone&rsquo;s Mail has no spam filtering whatsoever. You&rsquo;ve either got server-side spam filtering or you&rsquo;re stuck wading through the dreck.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>\r\nOr you can <a href=\"http:\/\/c-command.com\/blog\/2007\/07\/01\/spamsieve-and-iphone\/\">use SpamSieve on your Mac to filter out the spam<\/a>.
