Well, there are message-remove-header and message-remove-first-header,
and then there is message-add-header.  Does that help?

I think that Lars has included some code which copied all buffer-local
variables from the summary buffer into the message buffer.  Or was it
from the summary buffer into the article buffer?

Does anybody know about the status of this code?  Is it still there?
If so, why does it not work?

I think it only copies buffer-local variables whose names begin with
gnus- or message-.  I still think that localising the "was" string when
sending is a bad idea, for the same reason as localising "Re" is bad.
I think it should be localised at the recipient for display.  Otherwise
code to help manage subject lines needs a huge set of possible strings
to match.
