In my case, MUA (mutt) and Org are on different hosts. I am
accessing MUA through ssh/screen and copy relevant parts into blocks
like this:

#+BEGIN_VERSE
Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2013 15:58:22 +0000
From: Kickstarter <no-reply@kickstarter.com>
To: xxxxxxxxxxxxx
From: Project Boss <boss@example.com>
Subject: Project Update xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Message-ID: <513_6f6d48753ee22646e9@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Project deadline is re-schedults to May 2014 since
external ressources are not available before autumn.
#+END_VERSE

Sometimes, I am using BEGIN_QUOTE instead of BEGIN_VERSE though.

With copy&paste, it's not as quick as capture but this way I get the
advantage to strip down the message to its relevant parts. With the
Message-ID, I am able to locate the original email in my MUA very
quickly.
