I'm not sure I'm following the OP either, but here's my use case and solution for something that I think is akin to this request.

At work, where I manage a group of sysadmins, we use a trouble ticket system (RT) that allows many in my group to handle tickets entirely through email.  Our users are not aware of this and often sent replies with CCs directly to particular admins, resulting in several copies of messages,  some of which lack the necessary CC to keep a message tracked by RT falls off the list.  When it happens with me (I do use the web interface so I can tell if a message in my inbox has not been included) I want to get the message into the ticket - perhaps it contains troubleshooting data that we've asked the user to provide.  Simple forwarding can be a pain because then I'd have to fill in the Subject in a particular way.  Easier for me is to start a reply on a proper email in the ticket and then attach t
 he other message as part of the composition.  So my summary line format includes the message number and I've written this simple function, bound to C-c C-m C-m.

(defun dsg-message-attach-article (group message)
  (interactive
   (list (completing-read
	  "Group: " gnus-active-hashtb nil
	  (gnus-read-active-file-p)
	  nil
	  'gnus-group-history)
	 (read-number "Message: " t)))
  (let ((tmp (get-buffer-create (generate-new-buffer-name "*MSGTMP*"))))
    (save-excursion
      (set-buffer tmp)
      (gnus-request-article-this-buffer message group))
    (mml-attach-buffer (buffer-name tmp) "message/rfc822")))
