Yes, it does, but my problem is knowing which one I *should* use,
in terms of long-term development of functionality. 

I was thinking that I should go to message-mode, which is on the
face of it more sophisticated, but mail-mode is core Emacs, and RMS
is in favour of it staying that way (and in theory merging
message-mode functionality back into mail-mode, but I don't know if
that is happening).
