It will do that fine (in the windows version anyway).  I highlight any text, then press reply.  Only that text is quoted, the rest disappears.

Not sure what you mean there.

Dunno what you mean by "saved searches".

Agreed, although I've never needed them in reading.  I find the number of > is enough for me.

I like the killfile and filter options the most.  Easy to use and able to filter on all sorts.

For example I've set up a folder which contains all posts made in reply to me or thereafter.  I can respond to those first before looking elsewhere.

And I can killfile people and any replies to them.  Some newsreaders are incapable of both of those things, as they won't look at the body of the message.
