Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] emacs: Tell `message-mode' that outgoing messages are
 email.
Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2016 07:51:48 +0100
Message-Id: <1461999108-68582-3-git-send-email-dme@dme.org>
In-Reply-To: <1461999108-68582-1-git-send-email-dme@dme.org>

Precedence: list

When composing messages (including replies, etc.), indicate to
`message-mode' definitively that the message is email (as opposed to
Usenet news) rather than having it attempt to determine this for itself.

This causes `message-mode' to observe such variables as
`message-default-mail-headers', which previously happened haphazardly.
