Well, every command in Emacs, including these, does have an underlying
function; and if even that's bothersome there's keyboard macros.

But this feels like the 'XY problem': Are you trying to do a 'mail
merge'? If so, you could try something like this:

M P b
M-& R
M-x ibuffer
% n *unsent RET (or: % m message RET)
(kill the reply text)
W (progn (goto-char (point-max)) (yank) (message-send-and-exit))

Well, i'm wondering why this doesn't seem to work as advertised:

(setq gnus-process-mark-toggle nil)
/ r
M P b
/ w
M-& T #

Started with 'nntp', which was legitimate.
