Not sure if I get what you mean but here's what I do in this
situation...
If I'm in the middle of composing a new msg then I remember something, a
paragraph or a few lines perhaps, in another msg that I want to include,
I postpone my msg editing, then I go to that message containing the text
that I want to include and decode-copy it (ESC Shift-C) to a ~/temp.txt
file, then continue my postponed composition and copy temp.txt file into
my email (:r ~/temp.txt) and remove the un-wanted sections.
Seems cumbersome too but that's the only way I know how to do this
without opening another console or getting out of the mutt session. If
anyone has a better suggestion, I'm all ears... :)
Cheers.
