This is true, unless you visit the archive page.

Cut and paste. It takes time to learn things. We all start learning how
to use a computer and wished that we pressed one button and it did a
task.
"
You see a message you want to reply to. Press "TO mail" and then cut and
past the message or the reply in the body and type your reply. THen send
your message to pumpkin@mallorn.com. It's like growing a large
pumpkin. You can't plant the seed and expect it to grow big...you have
to do a few more steps. The digest program would not of been created
unless their was a demand for it.
My system wouldn't let me.

See if you can turn your reply to message off. Check you options and
see what can be done. Who knows, you might be able to send color font.
Play with the system and see what it can provide you. THis is true for
many mail systems.

Useing a computer or understanding software programs are never simple. A
learning curve is always required. Remember when they gave you a SW
program to learn. I you want to know you will try and learn. If the
interest is not their, then I should not try and help.
