yes, i tried that, but it only work if the mode is not derived from
text-mode (eg. LaTeX - from aucTeX), but not if it is (eg. message).
In the latter, code like this one :

(add-hook 'text-mode-hook
          '(lambda ()
              (if (eq major-mode 'text-mode)
                  (flyspell-mode 1)
                (turn-on-auto-fill))))

will run the THEN _and_ the ELSE part of the IF expression, while in
the former, only then ELSE part is evaluated.

Furthermore, something like :

(derived-mode-p 'text-mode)

will return true even in text-mode (while it's hardly derived from
text-mode, isn't it?).

So, I found no easy way to discriminate between parent from derived
children mode.  

Thanks again for the support.

PS: Could you tell me if receive my reply twice : on the mailing list
(or the newsgroup) and in your mailbox.  I'm curious to know if all
(of my gnus and message configurations) is working as intended.
