With VM 5.31, if you set the variable vm-keep-sent-messages, VM will not
kill mail buffers after the message is sent.  Then later you can just
switch to buffer "sent reply to Foo Bar" and press C-c C-c to send it
again.

But I don't think VM has any special knowledge of the "dead.letter" file.
You can always create a mail buffer and insert the contents of the file.

That would only work if the dead.letter file was in the correct format.  I
haven't seen one in such a long time that I don't remember.

No.
