The one feature I love best about Mail.app on OS X is that if I
select text and click reply, the selected text only is quoted. I've
never been able to reproduce this in other email clients I use, and
it's a real time saver for inline replying.

I also think part of the problem is that many people try to jam too
much in a single email. When I do have multiple questions for a
client or someone I expect will not inline reply to me, I try to do
something clear like an ordered list (1,2,3) -- and typically find
that keys people to at least reply something like "On 1, do this...On
2, do that", etc.
