The mark feature (<Ctrl>^) allows you to mark any segment of text, cut it out (<Ctrl>K), move the cursor, and paste it (<Ctrl>U) in the new location. You can paste the previously cut text more than once, allowing you to use this feature to copy a block of text into several locations of your message; however, you cannot cut text out of one message your are composing and then paste it into the next one with these commands.
If you press <Ctrl>K without having marked anything, Pine will delete a single line. If you delete a group of lines together, Pine keeps them in the same buffer, so <Ctrl>U will restore them as a block.
In Pine's internal help, the ``set mark'' key sequence is shown as ^^ (two carets). The first ``^'' means you should hold down the <Ctrl> on your keyboard. The second ``^'' means ``type the character ^''.
