It turns out that, in many cases, it is quite annoying that
mail-fetch-field (and a few pieces of mail-extr, too) deliver the mail

Should they do that ? Or should the properties have been overlays in the
first place ?
Here is a patch for one place, but I am not sure whether this is The Right
Thing to do.
