How do I include a nested quote in replies?
When reply to a post, the quotes within the post will not carry over in my reply. How do I keep them in?

The only ways I have found to keep the nested quotes when I quote a post is to either do multi-quote so I quote the post which was nested and then move the nested quote inside the post that quoted it or drag to highlight the nested quote (including the poster's handle), copy it and paste it into the post and then manually insert the quote code

Note that the ancient-and-probably-soon-to-be-depreciated WAP version of the FT site (http://gallery.flyertalk.com/wap) does quote the entire quoted post, including any material quoted in the quoted post, resulting in a nested quote. This isn't intentional so much as it is the third-party software that handles the WAP posting is too stupid to know how to strip out quoted material in a quoted post.

If you select "quote" now, all that's quoted is CubsFanJohn's reply, not what was nested above it.
