It is in message.el:

,----
| message-mark-inserted-region is an interactive compiled Lisp function
| in `message.el'.
| 
| It is bound to C-c m.
| 
| (message-mark-inserted-region BEG END &optional VERBATIM)
| 
| Mark some region in the current article with enclosing tags.
| See `message-mark-insert-begin' and `message-mark-insert-end'.
| If VERBATIM, use slrn style verbatim marks ("#v+" and "#v-").
`----

I think I defined the keyboard shortcut myself.

Hope this helps,

Rainer
