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:

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


.muttrc:
========
reply-hook ~A 'echo `touch ~/.mutt/isreply`'


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

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

if (-e $REPLYFILE) {
   $mod_time = (stat($REPLYFILE))[9];
   if (time() - $mod_time < 5) {
     exit 1;
   }
   else {
     unlink($REPLYFILE);
     exit 0;
   }
}
else {
   exit 0;
}
