Re: message-mode is now default?

   The long painful thread included various questions asking in which
   way message-mode was different, and nobody was able to answer those
   questions.

Several people already noted why they prefer mail-mode, that you do
not agree with these opinions is not a reason to dismiss them as
"nobody was able to answer".

Eli has now listed many UI changes that differ between mail-mode and
message-mode, including code changes.

Clearly, message-mode and mail-mode are different enough that making
message-mode default was a premature change, so the right thing to do
is change it back.  Those who wish to make message-mode behave more
like mail-mode can then work on that.
