Apple says you can use the IPad Pencil to "Mark up email, screenshots, and more.You can write and sketch on email messages". It only seems to give me an option to create and insert an attachment. This is not the same as marking up an email so that I can reply to the sender.
Hello,
Whenever you receive an attachment in an email, such as a PDF document, you can mark the document up and email it back to the sender. If you wish to markup the actual email message then you will need to take a screenshot before hand.

Thanks. I think Apple’s description is misleading and should be corrected. While this can address the need in some cases, it gets difficult when an email is longer than a screen. Then you need to turn the email into a PDF, store it, reply to the original email attach the email PDF and then you can mark it up. The problem is many people do not bother to read attachments because they are on their IPhones that may not down load it. Hoping Apple improves this in the future.
Hello,
Apple has announced that apart of this Fall’s iPadOS 13 release that you will be able to take full page screenshots meaning if there is a long email you wish to take a screenshot of, you can screenshot the entire message instead of what is being shown on the active window.
This being said in Mail if you tap the reply button on the message and then tap print you can use a 2 finger pinch gesture on the print preview for the email to open as a PDF which would let you markup the message as you wish.
Hello,
I also do encourage you to submit feedback to Apple. This will help Apple learn what their users think could improve their products.
Definitely a step to make it easier.
