Hi Jean: I see what you are going for here. Generally, explicit button are meant to be persistent so they must be attached to a file. However, we have added capabilities that allow them to be part of an email or news message where the button data is stored in a hidden part of the message itself. So someone would have to adapt those features to your use case. I think hmail.el and hgnus.el have the top-level of this code.
