Oh, I thought I had! I think I was gluing together the mail and message
functions in my brain.

I'm not sure that's necessary -- it's a bit weird to have the wrong name
in there if you're using mail-mode, but it would only cause trouble if a
user was using _both_ message-mode and mail-mode, and wanted separate
*EBDB* buffers for each. I think this can safely do double duty.

Thanks for the report, and the chance to clean up some dumb code.
