Quote and Multi Quote

A forum has a thread that Archie sifts through. In replying to two related posts, from Betty and Veronica, in one shot, he clicks Multi Quote on one and Quote on the other. He pastes the generated text into an editor and enters his reply to both. And then sleeps on it.

The next day, he inadvertently clicks on the Quote for Veronica only, forgetting to do the Multi Quote first. He pastes his complete draft into his post. The question is now. Does Betty get a reply notification?

What if Archie had clicked on both Multi Quote and Quote, but somehow had wiped out the quote for Veronica and his reply? Would she get a reply notification?

Now for a separate scenario. Archie replies to two posts, from Betty, in one shot. He writes his replies on the spot and submits his post. Will Betty receive one or two reply notifications?

Clicking "Quote" and "Multi-Quote" won't work. You have to click "Multi-Quote" on all the posts you want included in your reply. Clicking "Quote" after clicking "Multi-Quote" will over ride the "Multi-Quote".

Are you talking about clicking both the Quote button and Multi Quote button of a single post to reply to? That's not what I'm describing.
I am outlining a scenario where you click the Multi Quote button of one post, then the Quote button of another.

Yes, it would be acceptable to me for you to add the hyphen to the title of button, so it's "Multi-Quote". Thank you.

Clicking "Quote" on post 2 after clicking "Multi-Quote" on post 1 will over ride the "Multi-Quote" you already clicked.
Sorry, added some clarity. "Quote" and "Multi-Quote" do not work together in any configuration. You have to choose one or the other.

I clicked the Multi-Quote button of your first post, then I clicked the Quote button of your second post, typed this line, and now I hit Submit Reply ... 👀

I just discovered this myself! Must have been a functionality fix since we implemented Multi-Quote. In that case, all users (Quoted and Multi-Quoted) should receive notifications.
