Depends on what editor one uses.
 Some editors let you mark a chunk of text and pipe it through
a command.
 I don't think Forte Agent's editor will let you do that, though, since
it is a WINDOS tool.
 It is, however, trivial to swipe a selection
with a mouse and paste it into a terminal running "wc -l"...

Agreed, its pretty easy to do, in a basic form.
The challenge is in credibility when someone claims that XX number of lines infers 'garbage' while also claiming to have not looked at the text itself for determining new content vs old quoted text.
For example, consider this alleged screen shot from Agent:

My 254 line response to pothead's 205 lines:  at best, one could subtract (254-205=49) to infer a 49 new lines of content, but that's primitive because it also includes automatic headers, new line wraps, white space, which isn't new content, so its an overcount.
Similarly, your response to me was just 19 lines because you cut quoted text which throws off a delta comparison with an undercount.  Now a good craftsman doesn't blame his tools...but sadly, that won't happen here.
