FILL-CITED-ARTICLE will only work when an article is being displayed,
not when being replied to. To word wrap when composing, try the key
combination M-q, which is bound by default to the function
FILL-PARAGRAPH. It works in every mode, not just Gnus. It can fill
regions and also fixes quote marks for you.
You can customize the desired width with the "fill-column" variable.

There are no modifiers for these. You just type the letters when viewing
an article, like in vi. Note the case sensitivity: you'd press Shift+w
w.
