Instead of messing with copy/paste (which loses smileys, images, formatting codes, etc), just click the "quote" button to open an advanced reply to that post.
Then you can type in the [/quote ] code inside the quoted text, at the point where you want to insert some of your reply text.
Right after that, type your reply to that portion of the quoted post.
Then type the [quote ] code to resume quoting the rest of the quoted post.
This can be repeated as many times as desired, until you come to the end of the quoted post, which already has the original [/quote ] ending code. (You can of course type further reply text after the end here -- this is where all of your reply would be in a normal 'quick quote' reply.)

ACW, guess I should have been more clear. What I was wanting to know is if it's possible to quote more than one post into a single reply post. For instance, I occasionally will view a thread in which I would like to reply to multiple posts within my single post. Is this possible without manually typing in the quotes?
Only way I've come across is to open a text document and quick-quote people, copy paste, then back track and quick-quote the other person, and keep doing it. personally i think its much easier to copy paste and add in a little bit of vBcode myself.

i'll right click>open in new tab> on the quote button, for every reply that I want, then just click go advanced, or post reply and enter everything.
Firefox is great for this, as multiple tabs helps.
I'll use cyphur's method, in a way, aswell...

click the quote as usual for the first one.
reply... just like im doing now... after you replied to teh first person hit Ctrl+A and then Ctrl+X this should make the whole window blank.
then hit the Back button and click your next quote button..
in the textbox, put the cursor before the quote thats in there, press enter, then press Ctrl+V
and then goto the end of the textbox and reply as usual.... repeat for all quotes.

Hm... I'm not a member of the Firefox Evangelists myself, IE is fine with me. 
MS is supposed to be coming out with an IE upgrade to add tabbed browsing capability soon, fwiw. (I'm fine without tabs, too, though. )
Looks like there should be a place in the Options to enable the scrolling:
http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/options
Options/Preferences -> Advanced Options -> Browsing
"Use autoscrolling
Autoscrolling is a useful feature which allows you to scroll the page by just holding down the middle mouse button (usually the scroll wheel) and move the mouse up or down. Some people find this annoying so here's the option for it."
