Hi,

I looked into it a bit more and on the info node (emacs) Displaying 
Boundaries you will find more functions to display which text is above 
the limit.

By doing M-x display-fill-column-indicator-mode you will get a fine mark 
for every character above the value held by fill-column (default is 70).

You could add this function in the message-mode-hook, you would be able 
to see the lines which are too long without being bothered by all the 
excess informations of whitespace-mode.
