Subject: cut text "vanishes" between messages

One of my users has just noticed that the way in which cut text is 
handled between 3.07 and 3.85 is different.

He used to be able to combine the contents of more than one message by, 
for example:

  starting to forward <message 1>, go into the body, cut the exciting 
  lines.

  cancel the forward of <message 1>

  reply to <message 2>, go into its body, uncut the lines which were 
  cut from <message 1>

This allowed him to quote from a number of messages even from a VT100 or 
similar terminal where the luxury of a window system provided cut & paste 
facility wasn't provided.

Is there any chance of the "old" behaviour slipping back into 3.86, or is
there some workaround that I have missed? 

Thanks,

Mike
