In the emacs mail program Gnus it is possible to:
‘R’
Send a reply to the current article and yank the current article (‘gnus-article-reply-with-original’). If the region is active, only yank the text in the region.
The part I am interested in replicating is yanking only the text in the active region. Is this possible in Mutt when using vim/nvim as the editor? That is, when viewing the message can one select/highlight text and then invoke 'r' to have the reply contain only this region?
