I have modified my composer template for forwarded mails to use %QUOTE instead of %TEXT. Thus, I expect the forwarded part of the email to be the currently selected text only (if there is any selection). 

However, this is not the case. Regardless of the selection, the whole message is always forwarded. 

Interesting observation: If I use %QUOTE and %TEXT in the reply or reply all templates, they work as expected.


Template example: 
**********************************************************************
%REM="Default forward template"%-
%CURSOR
