Feature request coming ...

In that case, it should be possible to yank and cite just a region by
specifying a prefix argument, e.g. "C-u C-c C-y".  I would also find it
useful for a prefix argument to "R" and "F" to mean this rather than
specifying a multi-message reply.  I always use marking to specify
multi-message replies.

When a region is being yanked, VM should also include the headers if they
are not entirely in the region before calling mail-yank-hooks.
