This is one instance of http://debbugs.gnu.org/4431, differences
between message mode and mail mode. message-mode does not respect
mail-archive-file-name. It would be easy to add this, but maybe there
is already a different message-mode way to do this (add an FCC header
by default)?

You can just customize mail-user-agent back to sendmail-user-agent if
these differences bug you.

How about something like the following.

(I'm not sure if it will put the FCC file in the same directory as
mail-mode used to.)

Please try in your .emacs:

(setq mail-archive-file-name "whatever you had before")

(setq message-default-mail-headers
   (format "FCC: %s\n" mail-archive-file-name))

This made the email send go into the FCC file.

I've installed the following change to make life easier for users of
mail-archive-file-name (and mail-self-blind and mail-default-reply-to):

       * message.el (message-default-mail-headers): Change the default
         value to ease the transition from mail-mode to message-mode.
