Hello,
I don't use GNUS but I do use GMail. I sometimes copy the message from
a gmail (by selecting the original source sans headers from GMail)
paste it in an emacs buffer and turn on message-mode. However, this
treats the buffer as the message, whereas I would like to reply to the
message in the buffer.
Is there a message-mode function that will reply(create a new buffer)
to a buffer that contains an email message?
Thanks and regards
Saptarshi

if i understand your question correctly, you basically just want a way
to create a new buffer.
you can use switch-to-buffer (Ctrl+x b), then give a random name.
if you are using my ergo map package, you can just call new-empty-
buffer (Ctrl+n).

it would be nice if there's a emacs package that interface with GMail.

I saw this message rather late. Actually, suppose I take your message
as an example which i've pasted below.
What I wanted is to copy this , paste it in a buffer and in message
mode reply to this, so that I get all the features of message mode
( snippet handling, automatic > prefix etc)
However, if i turn on message mode, its treats the buffer content *my*
response.
Thank you
