I'll include a shameless-plug-cum-general-recommendation: I use
org-attach a lot to keep files associated with Org headings, and to me
this feels like a natural use-case for that.

I wrote a library called Gnorb (in the package manager) that provides
some glue-code between Gnus and Org (and BBDB), and there are a few
hooks in there that might be useful to you.

It sounds like you're digesting quite a bit all at once, so you probably
don't want to install all of Gnorb. If you're interested in some of the
bits, I might be able to peel those off into separate functions:
specifically, taking files from the org-attach directory and attaching
them to outgoing emails being sent from an Org heading. I can't promise
I could do it cleanly, but I'd be happy to look into it.
