Check the mode.  In message buffers, no parenthesis checking should be done.

The behavior you describe is not 'normal'.  When you have a normal
GNUS message buffer, like the one I'm typing right now ;-), you can
insert any number of unbalanced parentheses because no checking is
done.

Here are the major-mode and currently active minor modes in my GNUS message buffer:


major-mode            --> message-mode

(defun current-minor-modes (&optional buffer)
  "The list of the minor modes currently active in the buffer (or current buffer)."
  (let ((result '()))
    (with-current-buffer (or buffer (current-buffer))
      (dolist (mode minor-mode-list result)
        (when (and (boundp mode) (symbol-value mode))
          (push mode result))))))

(current-minor-modes)  --> (abbrev-mode transient-mark-mode
                            line-number-mode auto-compression-mode
                            auto-encryption-mode
                            unify-8859-on-encoding-mode
                            unify-8859-on-decoding-mode
                            blink-cursor-mode font-lock-mode
                            global-font-lock-mode
                            file-name-shadow-mode mouse-wheel-mode
                            tooltip-mode shell-dirtrack-mode
                            auto-image-file-mode display-time-mode
                            mml-mode)


So you must have some hook or some other minor mode configured that
activates such mismatched parentheses dectection and signaling an
error.

Very probable. I use built-in code-syntax helper (for C, Java, etc.),
which checks parentheses, etc., but it should not be launched if the
file is not such a code file, should it?

If it's too good to be true, then it probably is.
