Not used it before, but its from a good stable - I am sure it'll be fine!

When you hit reply to a message in a 'good' client, the message
appears, indented with a symbol - typically a >.  The cursor appears
below.

You can then navigate around the message, replying inline, and
removing irrelevant stuff.

The choice of client just makes it easier to do.  Outlook doesn't
behave like this by default, and even when its configured to behave as
I just described, it gets it wrong as soon as lines start to grow in
length, and you end up with a horrible mess of broken lines with '>'
characters in the end.
