No I don't think there are any built-in way of changing profile
mid-mail.  That being said, it's pretty easy to decide at the
beginning of the writing which style to use.

It should be possible to reapply the function, that prepares the mail
buffer conditional on a style, initially mid-mail, but I haven't
looked into the details.
