Why isn't such a helpful feature itself vanilla?

And make one of those vanilla as well!
And then - as it seems only the lowercase m is employed
by the help system, for describing the current buffer
modes:
(global-set-key "\C-hM" 'my-describe-mode)
But, for message-mode, those don't give identical
output for me with respect to the minor modes. Perhaps
Gnus enables something in a hook that is not part of
plain message-mode. So you should be careful separating
when you want to describe a mode in general, and the
mode specifically in effect for the current buffer!
my-describe-mode:
Enabled minor modes: Abbrev Auto-Composition
Auto-Fill Global-Font-Lock Shell-Dirtrack
Show-Paren Transient-Mark
describe-mode:
Enabled minor modes: Abbrev Auto-Composition
Auto-Fill Font-Lock Global-Font-Lock
Gnus-Message-Citation Shell-Dirtrack Show-Paren
Transient-Mark
