I see no reason why message-mode will get in the way for these
messages; in particular, it supports the same "--text follows this
line--" marker.

But perhaps I misunderstand what features of mail-mode you are using
when you handle these files.  Can you list a few mail-mode commands
you use with them?

Right, that might be some work.

Anyway, I don't think we will be removing mail-mode any time soon.
