forward/insert a message in a reply message buffer

Hello

I asked this some time ago, but I am not sure whether the following
feature has been implemented:
in a reply/followup buffer I want to insert/forward a message from any
other group something like

For example:


(insert-or-attach-or-forward
"Message-ID: <CAMErEMjN_Thvq0X4jdRYw2-B02HSrGGJX3LTZJcRwhKPgun=***@mail.gmail.com> Group: nnimap+UCMgmail:INBOX")


Dave Goldberg has a nice implementation, but it relies on the message
number. It would be great if it could be generalised for marked messages.

`M-x report-emacs-bug' is best.

OK.  How do I do that?  M-x gnus-bug or someplace else?

Could you report this as a wishlist bug report, and I'll take a crack at
it later some time...

Hmmm, that looks very familiar ....

That is exactly what I tried to do before punting and attaching by article number - I wanted something along the line of gnus-dired.  Unfortunately that is beyond my level of lisp-fu.

Having to type the message number makes it rather awkward to use, I
think...

Or, perhaps, there should be a command to do this the other way?  Where
you select an article in a group, and then there's a command "attach
this article to this message buffer"?

This is awesome, thanks very much. :-D :-D
Lars: couldn't this be included in gnus mainstream?

I have a similar setting for gnus-summary-line-format, so I am used to
it.

However, just one observation, could this function use marked-messages
instead of the message number which would make it more comfortable?

BTW how is gnus-active-hashtb computed, because in my case it refers
also to some old imap setting I am not using anymore.

I'm pretty sure I've posted this before.  It's very klunky.  Only tested with nnimap and nnml.  It requires knowing the message number (not message-id) which I solve by displaying it with %N in my customized gnus-summary-line-format.

(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: ")))
  (let ((tmp (get-buffer-create (generate-new-buffer-name "*DSGTMP*"))))
    (save-excursion
      (set-buffer tmp)
      (gnus-request-article-this-buffer message group))
    (mml-attach-buffer (buffer-name tmp) "message/rfc822")))
