Title.
I need to paste text into an email as a quote. I don’t see any way to do that, and it seems like a weird shortcoming for such a feature-rich app. What am I missing?
The paste tooltip is missing in the Mac version, but it will be back in the next release.
The third option is paste as quote.

Thanks, Gary. I’ll watch for the next release.
But how to I bring up these tool-tips? That doesn’t look like a right-click contextual menu. How about “Paste as quotation” in the contextual menu too? That’s how it works in Postbox, and right-clicking to perform an action where you’ve clicked is fairly standard UI.
If I may answer, you just paste something in the edition window and at the end of the pasted content this pop up is displayed which enables to chose between options, the last one being “Quote”.
Thanks @MerleOne.
The right-click menus in eM Client are weird. There are all kinds of actions that should be included, but instead require users to learn some app-specific trick instead following their right-click instincts. For example:
- You can’t right-click > Paste as Quote.
- You can right-click > Copy Link in a message you’re reading, but not in a message you’re composing.
This is a great, powerful app, but intuitive, it is most certainly not.
The paste as quote option for Mac has now been added & is working in the new eM Client V10.1.4588 via the release history page.
@cyberzork That’s great! Thanks. I get nothing about this update when I go to eM Client > Check for updates. It says I’m current (10.1.4393). I had to download it from the website.
Yes not all new Interium updates are pushed to the client incase there is any issues found. Thats why the check for update didn’t work.
So in this case you have to manually download it. Recommend as well before installing any new update, make a manual backup first via “Menu / Backup” incase of any problems.

10.1 did return the tooltip feature for Mac. Having said that, it’s a weird way to handle this. Maybe it’s just the way my brain works, but fixing something after it’s been pasted seems like a backwards way of handing pasted text. If I had a right-click > Paste as quotation option, I’d probably try to figure out how to turn off the tooltip pop-up.
