It's message mode:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
C-c M-m runs the command message-mark-inserted-region, which is an
interactive compiled Lisp function in `message.el'.

It is bound to C-c M-m, <menu-bar> <Message> <Insert Region Marked>.

(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-").
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Or if you want to include a marked file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
C-c M-f runs the command message-mark-insert-file, which is an
interactive compiled Lisp function in `message.el'.

It is bound to C-c M-f, <menu-bar> <Message> <Insert File Marked...>.

(message-mark-insert-file FILE &optional VERBATIM)

Insert FILE at point, marking it with enclosing tags.
See `message-mark-insert-begin' and `message-mark-insert-end'.
If VERBATIM, use slrn style verbatim marks ("#v+" and "#v-").
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
