No problem at least to me (I do it manually when I do).  Now not
only message.el but also parse-time.el, pgg.el, time-date.el, and
gnus.el differ.

Ok.  Maybe the point is that I have no understanding of the goal.
Currently, the default values of message-* variables in question
are the same as those of mail-* variables in the Emacs trunk, and
I find no advantage of message-* variables' succeeding to mail-*
variables' values.  But, it is not the goal, is it?
