C-c C-f C-e move to Expires
C-c C-f C-i cycle through Importance values
C-c C-f s change subject and append "(was: <Old Subject>)"
C-c C-f x crossposting with FollowUp-To header and note in body
C-c C-f t replace To: header with contents of Cc: or Bcc:
C-c C-f a Insert X-No-Archive: header and a note in the body
C-c C-t `message-insert-to' (add a To header to a news followup)
C-c C-l `message-to-list-only' (removes all but list address in to/cc)
C-c C-n `message-insert-newsgroups' (add a Newsgroup header to a news reply)
C-c C-b `message-goto-body' (move to beginning of message text).
C-c C-i `message-goto-signature' (move to the beginning of the signature).
C-c C-w `message-insert-signature' (insert `message-signature-file' file).
C-c C-y `message-yank-original' (insert current message, if any).
C-c C-q `message-fill-yanked-message' (fill what was yanked).
C-c C-e `message-elide-region' (elide the text between point and mark).
C-c C-v `message-delete-not-region' (remove the text outside the region).
C-c C-z `message-kill-to-signature' (kill the text up to the signature).
C-c C-r `message-caesar-buffer-body' (rot13 the message body).
C-c C-a `mml-attach-file' (attach a file as MIME).
C-c C-u `message-insert-or-toggle-importance' (insert or cycle importance).
C-c M-n `message-insert-disposition-notification-to' (request receipt).
C-c M-m `message-mark-inserted-region' (mark region with enclosing tags).
C-c M-f `message-mark-insert-file' (insert file marked with enclosing tags).
M-RET `message-newline-and-reformat' (break the line and reformat).

In addition to any hooks its parent mode `text-mode' might have run,
this mode runs the hook `message-mode-hook', as the final step
during initialization.
