If there is a smart way to do this in mutt, I don't know it. I normally
just:

* Exit the editor
* Postpone the mail with Shift-P
* Go find the mail I want to quote
* Hit 'reply' to quote the text
* Select the text in xterm (or with screen's copy function)
* Recall the postponed mail
* Paste in

Alternatively, you could save the received mail to a file and then read
it into vim at the cursor with :r <file>.

That'd be one big macro ;) Any better suggestions?
