I think the problem why it doesn't work here is that "reply" is interactive.
Whatever follows <reply> in the macro is appended to the "To: " prompt.

Is there a way to "wait" until the <reply> operation is done?

.mailcap:
=========
image/*; chafa -c 240 -w 9 -s ${COLUMNS-80} -- %s ; copiousoutput ; 
test=~/.mutt/bin/isnotreply.pl


.muttrc:

~/.mutt/bin/isnotreply.pl:
==========================
#!/usr/bin/perl

chdir();
$REPLYFILE = "./.mutt/isreply";

if (-e $REPLYFILE) {
  $mod_time = (stat($REPLYFILE))[9];
  if (time() - $mod_time < 5) {
    exit 1;

There isn't a clean built-in way to do what you want, so you'll have to get creative. One possibility is using the 'test=' mailcap flag and suppressing the chafa/viu invocation for replies. Here's *one* way to go about that, but you'll have to decide what works for you. This creates a file under ~/.mutt/isreply when replying:
