I don't think you should share a reserved prefix.  Think of something
else.  The free `C-c C-<letter>' ones are:

`C-c C-a', `C-c C-j', `C-c C-l', `C-c C-m', `C-c C-p', `C-c C-u',
`C-c C-v', `C-c C-x' and `C-c C-z'.

I'd use `C-c C-a' or `C-c C-p'...

`C-c C-f C-h' works for me:

Key bindings starting with C-c C-f:

Local Bindings:
key             binding
---             -------

C-c C-f C-b	message-goto-bcc
C-c C-f C-c	message-goto-cc
C-c C-f C-d	message-goto-distribution
C-c C-f C-f	message-goto-followup-to
C-c C-f C-k	message-goto-keywords
C-c C-f C-n	message-goto-newsgroups
C-c C-f C-r	message-goto-reply-to
C-c C-f C-s	message-goto-subject
C-c C-f C-t	message-goto-to
C-c C-f C-u	message-goto-summary
C-c C-f C-w	message-goto-fcc
