Thanks, 
I did it already, but there are a lot of modes deriving from text mode,
and I don't want to modify them all.  That's why I wanted a general
way to specify that a particular hook should only apply to the parent
mode, and not to its children.

PS: I try hard to make gnus and message use the MFT header (I post
from the mailing list), I hope I achieve it.  If not, I'm sorry, and
will try harder.  A typo in my emacs.el hinders me from replying
sooner.
