Hmmm, even if there are many great features, 3000 lines seems like a
lot, given the apparent similarity of the two modes (perhaps I'm a naive
user, but aside from the MIME stuff, I never noticed much difference)!

I wonder if porting the extra features in message-mode back to mail-mode
could be a good chance to clean up whatever bloat has crept into
message-mode as well -- or even better, split off some of the
functionality into separate packages...
