Yes and no. AFAIK you can't cut or paste while you read a document. Yes
you can cut and paste during the composing of a document(s) or between
them.

When you use the CTRL-^ it will allow you to move a highlight bar down
or up the screen (using the cursor keys) marking the text to be cut. When
you have the Highlighted area where you want it, press CTRL-K to cut the
text. It places the cut in a buffer. Then move the cursor where you want
to have it pasted and press CTRL-U.

This includes postponing a message and pasting in a new composed message.

To get around the "can't read a document" part, you have to enter the
editor (by reply or whatever) and have the message include in the reply,
then follow the above example for cutting. cancel the reply and go to the
new document and paste.

I found the very best way is to use the copy/cut/paste in the terminal
software itself. Then it doesn't matter where you are.
