Gnus provides a function to

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
wrap text like
this
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

using C-c M-m (message-mark-inserted-region)

I have that as a global binding now
(global-set-key (kbd "<f9> m") 'message-mark-inserted-region)


I also use boxquote.el
(global-set-key (kbd "<f9> r") 'boxquote-region)
(global-set-key (kbd "<f9> f") 'boxquote-insert-file)

HTH,
Bernt
