For a while now (in ognus), a fundamental mode *group* buffer is
created by just doing:

        (require 'message)

I had thought message was designed an independent facility so that you
could:

        (setq mail-user-agent 'message-user-agent)

and then, for example,  use `M-x m' to compose and send simple mail
without loading any unused infrastructure of GNUS.
