Hmmm, even if there are many great features, 3000 lines seems like a lot, given the apparent similarity of the two modes (perhaps I'm a naive user, but aside from the MIME stuff, I never noticed much difference)! I wonder if porting the extra features in message-mode back to mail-mode could be a good chance to clean up whatever bloat has crept into message-mode as well -- or even better, split off some of the functionality into separate packages... -Miles -- Run away!
