I don't think it is that simple because "that text" is simply part of
the collection of headers, some of which have been specified to be
invisible as Emacs displays the message, i.e. the X-Coding-System:
header can, according to rfc2822, precede or follow the Date: header.
This, if I understand the issue and your desires properly, makes
setting the buffer boundaries a non-workable solution. I don't know
what the right solution is yet. Worst case, the issue is an
indictment of using invisible text to hide the headers. Yuck.
