Even better, the command should follow the process/prefix convention,
so that you can attach several articles of your choice, *after* you
start composing a message.  I've always missed this feature.

Attaching an *Article* buffer is a bad idea because it's already
washed.  Original article text (which is stored in a separate buffer)
is what you'd have to attach.
