You have to write some hookey functions to be run from
`message-send-hook', for instance.

It's that "strategy of least surprise" -- the messages should go out
looking more or less as they look when the user is editing it.  (I
know, some headers are generated upon exit, but generating Date,
Sender and Message-ID is impossible to do before actually sending the
message, so why not generate From and the rest as well?)

For instance, Message expands abbrevs while typing, not sending, which
is different from Mail mode.
