3. If an Emacs mark exists, the target is the region between the mark
   and the cursor.

How many people actually make frequent use of this feature?

If this feature is insignificant why don't we make it an optional
behavior by command's prefix argument?  I am NOT proposing to
introduce additional option variable.  Since the next command option
already exists,

2. If called with 'C-u', the header is also copied if exists.

how about enabling the region citation by 'C-u C-u' so that the
feature would not be invoked accidentally without users explicit
intention?

P.S.

I too find the current mark dependent behavior of `mew-draft-cite'
nuisance in lieu of helpful.
