How do you create a new mail message?  With `m' from the group buffer?

Yep, I hit 'm' from a mail group summary buffer, or even 'C-u m' from
the group buffer while over a mail group.  However, `message-mail-p'
still returns 'nil'.  It is pretty obnoxious.

I have `gnus-post-method' set to 'current, but I am not so sure that's
used for mail.

I noticed: (message-mail-p) returns non-nil only if you have 'To:'
header filled (probably, 'Cc:' and 'Bcc' are ok too).

In my posting styles I use (not (message-news-p)). It behaves as
necessary with one exception: when you press 'a' in Group buffer, both
(message-news-p) and (message-mail-p) are nil.  But I rarely use it.
Adding in summary buffer works perfectly.

As I learned from code, bot (message-mail-p) and (message-news-p)
check wither mail header ('To:' etc.) or ('Newsgroups:') exist and are
not empty.

When you press 'a' in news group, 'Newsgroups:' is automatically
filled with group name, and everything is ok.

                               Onions have layers.  Unix has layers too.

What's the value of `message-this-is-mail' and `message-this-is-news'
in the message buffer (use `C-h v')?

They are both `nil'.  Sometimes `message-this-is-news' is set to `t'.
It seems like when that happens, my mail buffers start screwing up.
