What I do is to select both the message I want to reply to and the
message I want to forward (they have to be in the same folder) and
then do an aggregate reply or aggregate forward, depending on the
purpose of doing this.  Then using my editor (jove, more featureful
than pico, MUCH lighter than emacs) I either add quotes to the message
I am replying to or remove quotes from the one I want to look like a
forward.

That seems like a few fewer strokes/steps than the other two methods.
