I do use and love Kai's message-x.el
I wonder why this is not included in Gnus? Kai?

I think the most important functionality is already part of Gnus, see
the function message-tab.
There is some functionality which message-x has but message-tab does
not: message-x-tab tries to find out whether it should jump to the
next header. message-tab does nothing when it can't complete.
Do you think that this functionality is important? (The
implementation is very hairy.)

I've just seen that in your previous post.

I like it, yes. When I'm in a header, I just hit TAB, and your
message-x guesses exactly what I want. To go to the body, TAB is a lot
shorter than C-c C-b, and easier to remember (I had already forgotten
it !)

You must be very lucky that message-x guesses what you want :-)
Anyhow, maybe it's a good idea to add this functionality to
message-tab, as well. The problem is to find out, after invoking a
completion function, what the function did.

No, because it's an AI-complete problem. ;)

Same here. I just love it :-)

To each his own. I way too often find myself completing on multiple
addresses, particularly in Cc, but also in To. Back when I used
message-x, I turned off the jumping functionality immediately upon
finding myself typing addresses into the body :-) I am not suggesting
that the "guess-where-to-go" functionality shouldn't be incorporated,
but it should be turned off by default.
