Not really:

,----[ C-h v message-cite-function RET ]
| message-cite-function's value is 
| message-cite-original-without-signature
| 
| Documentation: *Function for citing an original message.  Predefined

| `message-cite-original-without-signature'.  Note that

`----

I.e. you can let-bind `message-cite-function' to 'message-cite-original:

(defun jh-gnus-summary-followup-with-original (n &optional force-news)
  "Compose a followup to an article and include the original article.
Like `gnus-summary-followup-with-original' but include signature in citation."
  (interactive "P")
  (let ((message-cite-function 'message-cite-original))
    (gnus-summary-followup (gnus-summary-work-articles n) force-news)))

Well, `M-;' isn't really painful for me.

,----[ `C-h k M-;' ]
| M-; runs the command comment-region
|    which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `newcomment'.
| (comment-region BEG END &optional ARG)
| 
| Comment or uncomment each line in the region.
| [...]

Bye, Reiner.
