Not sure if it's what you want, but how about defining emacs as the default
editor for rn?   This can be done for all users, or locally just for you by
putting the right definition in your .rnmac file (I regret I don't know the
syntax for the latter).

You then get normal rn, but go into emacs as soon as you Reply or Forward.
