'gnus-summary-followup-with-original' (key: F)
or
'gnus-summary-followup' (key: f)

Then mml-attach-file from the message composition buffer (key: C-c RET f)
or (Menu: Attachments->Attach File)

Its doc is this:

  mml-attach-file is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `mml'.
  (mml-attach-file FILE &optional TYPE DESCRIPTION DISPOSITION)

  Attach a file to the outgoing MIME message.
  The file is not inserted or encoded until you send the message with
  `C-c C-c' or `C-c C-s'.

  FILE is the name of the file to attach.  TYPE is its content-type, a
  string of the form "type/subtype".  DESCRIPTION is a one-line
  description of the attachment.

You'll be prompted for type, description, and disposition.
The doc should say that disposition is one of "attachment" or "inline"
or ... (I'm not sure if there are other choices -- tab at the prompt
to check)
