I see.  I found out Lars had changed `message-mode' so as to set
those variables as nil.

2003-10-16  Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen  <larsi@gnus.org>

	* message.el (message-inserted-headers): New variable.
	(message-mode): Make local.
	(message-mode): Set all the local action variables to nil.	

I guess Lars considered there may be those who invoke the
message-mail command from the message-mode buffer.  In that
case, message-*-actions will get excessive (or possibly harmful)
values in the second message buffer.  I think it can be improved
as follows:

  (set (make-local-variable 'message-*-actions)
       (default-value 'message-*-actions))

I don't think we should do that because the doc-strings for
those variables don't begin with "*", though.
