As an observer this argument you keep putting up is very weak.
Not one person has offered a reason why they can not use the subset of
message-mode which encompasses mail-mode.
It appears, from the outside, simply ludicrous to maintain TWO suites of
SW one of which is a *poorer* and less meticulous subset of the other
purely because, well, - actually there have been zero usability reasons
put forwards - only "because I said so" foot stomping reasons.
