But how do I paste such selected content into the reply to another

I have managed it with an extremely clumsy routine. Does an
elegant alternative exist?

What would be yours to know it's an alternative?

I *tag-reply* and drop the undesired recipients.

"tag-reply" is probably what I need to learn.

I pasted and saved the "to-be-quoted-email selection" in a separate
vim-window and then read the saved text into my (vim) reply-composer.

Thank you for the pointer.

I save the desired text to a text file on my machine, then include it into the
other message using the facilities provided by my text editor. Not that
elegant, but very simple.
