Would anyone like to work on this?

The first step is to check for incompatibilities and missing features in
message-mode.  Currently, message-mode recognizes many mail-mode
variables, such as `sendmail-program', and do the right thing in
response.  Someone needs to go through all the sendmail.el variables and
make sure they are all handled properly in message-mode.  Once that is
done, we can start to migrate rmail, the bug reporter, and any other
places that use mail-mode to message-mode.
