The command to run is `message-mark-inserted-region', bound to "C-c M-m" by default in message-mode. It's not terribly discoverable, but it is there in the "Message" menu. I don't believe there's currently any way to get a "preview" in message-mode, of how your outgoing message will look to the recipient.
