Why don't you just present the *Article* buffer, like Kester said,
which you have spent such a large amount of work making pretty?  Leave
the underware buffer for the pros to hit C-u g on if they need to.

BTW, I need another key.
You see I want to send a mail to dweebowitz and there is a mail from
him right there in the summary buffer, but I don't want to read or
otherwise mark or disturb that old mail.  if I hit r then indeed i can
start sending a mail to him, but that disturbs the state of that
message and even generates references, etc.  Anyway, my cursor is
sitting on his name in the summary buffer.  Add a functionality to gnus 
to do this...

hmm, for me
   m runs the command gnus-summary-mail-other-window

why dont you make giving an arg to cause it to examine what is beneath
the cursor...
