comment-auto-fill-only-comments stops auto-fill in Message mode?

[Reuben Thomas]

If I set comment-auto-fill-only-comments to t, then auto-fill stops
working in Message mode. Presumably message-mode defines a comment
syntax... I'm not sure if this counts as a bug, but it's pretty
unfriendly. The following is a workaround I put in my .emacs:

;; Message mode
;; Stop comment-auto-fill-only-comments preventing auto-fill
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook
          '(lambda ()
             (set (make-local-variable 'comment-auto-fill-only-comments)
                  nil)))
