If you want to reply to some part only, just select it and press Reply
button, only the selected part will be shown in the new mail window.

Yes, there is an experimental external-editor plugin for evolution, with
it enabled (Edit->Plugins) you can do File->Compose in External Editor
within composer, though it's probably not available in your version, or
at least needs some "recent" fixes done there, for better stability. I
think those are parts of 2.26.3+, but I'm not sure now.
