hmmm, never thought of this, probably because I never use
`gnus-delay-article'.  You could try to put the function into
`message-send-hook' (but you should remove the call to
`message-send-and-exit' first).  I don't know if this would work as I
don't know if the Gcc magic (incl. removal of Gcc header) is done before
or after that hook.  If the Gcc header has been removed when
`message-send-hook' is called than you'll have to look for a different
hook to use.  If the Gcc header is still present, it should probably
work as expected but note that in that case the org link will be created
before the actual copying of the message took place. If something goes
wrong with the latter this will leave you with a bogus org link (which,
however, is probably not much of a problem).
