I have an idea: Let's have two different modes, a simple mode called
mail-mode and a complex mode named message-mode which has more features.
People who like simplicity can use mail-mode and people who need more
features can use message-mode. How does that sound? :-)

I think it's clear that message-mode contains more features over
mail-mode than just attachments.

A humble request from a user: if some kind of code reordering or merging
of the modes takes place please don't cripple message-mode's current
features too badly.
