No, it would probably be a lot harder to locate the corresponding part 
of the plain text body part than it would be to improve the direct 
handling of selected text in the HTML body part (in some cases it would 
be impossible). It's far from impossible to improve the latter. It's 
mainly a question of priorities. I have an idea though with respect to 
how I could improve this without too much effort... I'll give that a 
shot ;-)
