But mail-default-headers is for Mail mode too, so it doesn't seem any
better in this regard.

Anyway, if you look at the default value of
message-default-mail-headers, you will see it consults both
mail-archive-file-name and mail-default-headers, so they all have the
same effect.

(In general, the Emacs FAQ is extremely crufty and hardly likely to
answer any question frequently asked today.)
