I think there's a buggette in the vm-do-reply command when invoked by
the "R" (reply and yank original) key (with an include-text argument
of t).
The problem is that while regular vm-yank-message sets point and mark
around the buffer, vm-do-reply w/ include-text doesn't because the
call to vm-yank-message is within a save-excursion, so mark and point
aren't set when you finish.
This isn't that big a deal, except that Supercite expects mark and
point to be set. I realize that the attribution has already taken
place and that works, but I can't use C-c q (sc-fill-paragraph)
because it expects mark to be set and it isn't...
Minor point, I realize I can easily set it myself, but ... it's a bug,
darn it! :-)
