Indeed, if somebody, even a friend should send something that isn't
worth a reply, then most people simply don't reply ;). Nobody adds a
friend to spam filters or blacklists and we not necessarily reply with
a comment. However, if for some reason it should be common practise to
send back the original mail to e.g. friends, then it can't be done by
automation, since we first need to check if we want to reply or not and
additionally it doesn't matter if we send back the original message
without additional text or a quoted message without additional text. So
the option you want is a button, that has no special formatting style,
but replies to the sender and this can be done by the reply button ;).
Ok, ok, you want to send back the mail without any quoting, but this is
really an option not many users want to have too.

Claws Mail provides "Actions" a user could define. Since Claws Mail is
not that feature rich, IOW more light weight than Evolution, the action
feature makes sense and that Evolution doesn't provide such a feature
(perhaps it does and I'm not aware of it) makes sense, too.
