Let-bind `message-send-method-alist' within a wrapper function
(ian-message-message-send).  Untested code:

(defvar ian-message-send-method-alist
  '((mail ian-t message-send-via-mail))
  "Modified `message-send-method-alist' for mail2news.")

(defun ian-t (&rest ignore)
  t)

(defun ian-message-message-send (&optional arg)
  "Send with modified `message-send-method-alist'.
See `ian-message-send-method-alist'"
  (interactive "P")
  (let ((message-send-method-alist))
    (funcall message-send arg)))

Bye, Reiner.
