It seems that Robert (or others) only partially transferred his very
helpful code to extend yanking to allow yanking the presentation buffer.

The following code (and at a minimum the defvar) should be copied over
to core:

Note the line:
     This does only work with my modified VM, i.e. a hacked `vm-yank-message'."
Can be removed since the modified vm-yank-message is now part of
vm-reply

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
(defvar vm-reply-include-presentation nil)

;;;###autoload
(defun vm-reply-include-presentation (count &optional to-all)
  "Include presentation instead of text.
This does only work with my modified VM, i.e. a hacked `vm-yank-message'."
  (interactive "p")
  (vm-follow-summary-cursor)
  (vm-select-folder-buffer)
  (vm-check-for-killed-summary)
  (vm-error-if-folder-empty)
  (if (null vm-presentation-buffer)
      (if to-all
          (vm-followup-include-text count)
        (vm-reply-include-text count))
    (let ((vm-reply-include-presentation t))
      (vm-do-reply to-all t count))))

;;;###autoload
(defun vm-followup-include-presentation (count)
  "Include presentation instead of text.
This does not work when replying to multiple messages."
  (interactive "p")
  (vm-reply-include-presentation count t))

People have reported that Robert's code was including more than the 
current message, even the entire mail box, in the yanked text.  This 
is a potential *security flaw* because confidential information can be 
leaked.

I am advising people to leave vm-reply-include-presentation at its 
default value of nil.  Or, if you change it, be very watchful!

Cheers,
Uday

The release 8.1.1 will have my code for including presentation text, 
which I will take responsibility for.

Cheers,
Uday
