If you knew the key before, you could have done `C-h k C-c C-r'.  Else
`C-h a' (for commands) and `M-x apropos' (for functions and variables)
is quite nice.

If you don't find what you're looking for then, it might be that the
thing you're looking for is badly named.  In the actual case, that's not
true, cause rot13 is a caesar variant and `message-caesar-buffer-body'
is capable to encode with an arbitrary rotation number.

So if `apropos' didn't help, try `C-h d' (`apropos-documentation').  Fed
with rot13 it finds `message-caesar-buffer-body' as entry in the message
mode map.

Bye,
Tassilo
