Bug Description
Robert Marshall reports (viewmail-bugs, 2011-11-09)
If I attempt to reply to a message where the first line is a url, I
end up in a composition buffer with the lines

If I put the cursor on the start of the Robert Marshall line and
attempt to insert a line (tut, top posting!) I see 'sending URL to
Netscape ... Done' and firefox (set to my browser) attempts to visit
file://

I see the same behaviour, it only has been a problem when replying to
a message where a link is the first thing. In order to avoid these
strange things I have to go the to message separator and do open-line
to move the link down.
Anyhow, it comes from decoding the mime layout in a otherwise normal
to VM fashion (i.e. not special reply decoding). However there is a
point in the reply code where read-only text properties are removed
(around line 442 in vm-reply.el). I wonder if it would good to remove
these overlays at the same time.
