OK - I asked on the emacs help list, and got a response. I added the
followig to my emacs.org:
* Add message hook to include selected text as body
Thanks to Deniz Dogan
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(let (text)
(with-current-buffer (other-buffer)
(when (region-active-p)
(setq text
(buffer-substring (region-beginning)
(region-end)))))
(when text
(end-of-buffer)
(insert text)))))
#+end_src
This is doing exactly as expected.
Cheers,
Rainer
