Emacs 20: It does work on Emacs 20 on a tty. However I found two bugs:

*  In `message-setup-1':
     (put-text-property
        (point)
        (progn
        (insert mail-header-separator "\n")
        (1- (point)))
        'read-only nil) ;; that should be 'read-only t

* there are some headers that are inserted *after* the text-property
  'field 'header is set. In my header the whole block:

So they have not the 'header text property and if you add a header
line manually between these lines it will not have this property, too.

I did not investigate in this yet, because I'm too tired. I will look
at it again tomorrow.
