Agreed. I keep meaning to make a feature request asking for exactly
that.

And does this application not support the standard iPhone action where
you can select a range of text (or select all, for that matter) and use
the Paste command to replace it with whatever is on the clipboard?

It does, but that's after-the-fact clumsiness. To reply to your message
here, for instance, I highlighted the text I wanted to reply to and
reply. All other quoted text vanished, I was left with just the
paragraph above and I added the text below. That's using Unison 1.x on
the Mac, I could do with exactly the same behaviour in Newstap on the
iPhone/Pad.


Cheers,
Ian
