Well, you type ~v only when you want to send a reply.  My normal use is
to R to the mail message, then type ~f to get the message into the mail
editor buffer, and then type ~v to get my visual editor (emacs). 
Doesn't seem like a lot of keystrokes.  When I have a really short
reply, I don't bother with either ~f or ~v.
