Personally, this is one of the most annoying feature added to Evolution. 
When I read my email, I habitually highlight words, indicating where I was 
reading. When I'm done reading, I hit reply, and gosh, I got some 
incomplete words in the email body. So, I have to repeatedly cancel the 
reply message window, highlight some text, then it will proceed to the next 
stage of highlighting the whole line, then I could remove the highlight in 
such a way that the reply message body is complete, not empty. If there is 
an option to optionally disable this feature, I would then not be annoyed 
so much.

(I apologize if my expression is a bit too strong somehow...)
