I think the best way to implement this would be to allow people
composing the article in the normal way.  But then have a new command in
the summary buffer that would put the article under point into the
Message buffer.

That is, you'd pop to the summary buffer, find the message you want to
include, issue the new command keystroke, and it'd prompt you for
"attach message to buffer *unsent wide repl...*" etc, allowing you to
choose what Message buffer to attach the message to (if there are
several active Message buffers), and then insert the MML the same way `S
O m' and friends do.
