  Personally, I do already a lot of templating based on a combination of
topic/group parameters and posting styles (e.g. headers, addresses,
signatures, even language for spell checking etc).

So I guess you could go down this road. You can add any variable to a
topic/group parameter, for example a skeleton text. Then, what you can
do is write a message-setup-hook function that looks in there and fill
your message with the appropriate contents.

All of this provided that group-based templating is what you have in
mind of course.
