I think this is a great idea. Unfortunately, I had a lot of trouble
making message-mode digest an existing buffer. For example, if you take
any existing buffer and call (message-mode) on it, you will notice it
will clear the buffer completely.

I guess I would need to look at how (notmuch-mua-edit-mail) does it but
it was the blocker i had when i tried to figure this out..

Any suggestions?
