That is exactly what I tried. When I paste the text from the email, it actually puts the lines of text I just deleted back instead of my email.

esc + p command per the vi command list I found from googling says esc + p "to paste the text just deleted or copied at the cursor".

It's pasting the test I deleted, but I want it to paste the text I just copied from the email.
