This works perfectly for your subject:

,----[ C-h f outorg-edit-as-org RET ]
| outorg-edit-as-org is an interactive Lisp function in ‘outorg.el’.
| 
| It is bound to M-# #, <menu-bar> <Outshine> <Edit As Org>.
| 
| (outorg-edit-as-org &optional ARG)
| 
| Convert and copy to temporary Org buffer
| 
| With ARG, act conditional on the raw value of ARG:
| 
| | prefix | raw | action 1          | action 2                       |
| |--------+-----+-------------------+--------------------------------|
| | C-u    | (4) | edit-whole-buffer | ---                            |
| | C-1    |   1 | edit-whole-buffer | insert default export-template |
| | C-2    |   2 | edit-whole-buffer | prompt user for template-file  |
| | C-3    |   3 | edit-whole-buffer | insert & keep default template |
| | C-4    |   4 | edit-whole-buffer | insert & keep template-file    |
| | C-5    |   5 | propagate changes | ---                            |

It has already been described several time how to configure
outshine/outorg that it works with message-mode too.

Its actually quite easy. Configure outshine like described in the
README, and add outline-minor-mode to message-mode-hook in your .emacs.

,----
| (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'outline-minor-mode)
| (add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'outline-minor-mode))
`----

Then with M-# # your email (open in message-mode, gnus) will be opened
in an org-mode buffer for editing in org-mode.

Looks very similar to opening a source-block in org-mode to edit the
sources in the programming language mode.
