Where did I insist to remove it?  It's still there, isn't it?
I do indeed want to obsolete it.  I also want to make strings and
defconst immutable, and let be lexically scoped, and ...
Some of those will hopefully happen within my lifetime, others not.

Obsoleting mail-mode actually requires some amount of technical work,
and I have better things to do, so don't expect it to happen any time
soon, especially since it would require an enormous amount of
social-work along side.

But I do oppose very strongly the addition of etach: if someone wants to
add MIME features to mail-mode, it should be by bringing mail-mode and
message-mode closer to each other.
