I think I have found a rather peculiar solution (to my lengthy workflow). 

A normal solution:
  Based off a simple solution, of simply changing the mode of the email-draft (message) buffer to org-mode. Than C-c ' to edit in another mode, C-c ' to return, and M-x message-mode RET to view the normal message-mode hightlighting of headers and quoted messages. 

Strangish solution:
  C-x 4 c to clone the buffer, then switch to org-mode. But strangely, the syntax highlighting of message-mode is preserved! Simultaneously I get both modes' syntax highlighting, and <s TAB and C-c ' work!

(Heh heh, C-c C-c did not work... but M-x message-send-and-exit RET does!)
