I just clicked the reply link and the text and attribution of your post
are already quoted in the message box.

If you go via the dreaded 'google beta' interface which I can't seem to
avoid any more, then AFAICS the 'Reply' link does indeed present a blank
message box, with no way to incorporate context.

The 'original' Google certainly enabled context and attributions to be
included; Rob I wonder if you're still accessing that somehow? Used to
be the case that google.com gave you the beta, whereas google.co.uk
still had the original, but that's no longer the case.
