?! Subject twice?

What kind of code is that? I mean

  (message-goto-subject)
  (message-beginning-of-header 'subject)

Much better:

`message-goto-subject' could have an optional formal parameter
BEG so when the argument is non-nil it does
(message-beginning-of-header 'subject) last.

But at the very least (message-beginning-of-header 'subject)
should imply (message-goto-subject) first.

Or one could make HANDLE-FOLDED optional and when nil, go to
the current line's header beginning.

Subject should appear one time!
