Equally painful.

The only nice way I can think of for integrating this into mutt would be
to have an 'append quoted message to postponed message' function.

For example:
* When writing a reply, you realise you want to quote another mail too
* Postpone the reply, and go find the mail in question using mutt's mighty
  searching features
* Hit 'append-quoted to postponed' key (you may need to select the
  postponed message to append to, if you have more than one)
* Recall the postponed message and you find the required text, quoted,
  at the bottom

HONK!
HONK!
HONK!

Sorry, that was my code bloat detector going off.
