I use an empty line as a separator, and `M-q' and friends work for me in
all my use cases.  But it's certainly possible that I've missed some.

Using an empty line as a separator, and then not including any headers
in the buffer doesn't work, though.  Eurhm.  That wasn't the original
author's use case, was it?  I assumed that he had a buffer starting with

  --- text follows etc etc ---

with no headers before that...

If not, yeah, you're right -- message mode just isn't meant to be used
like that.
