On 2005/04/17 the font-lock-keywords in mail/rmail.el and
mail/sendmail.el were changed, so that teh text of citations is no
longer fontified (only the leading mark, normally "> " is...).

Why was that change made?  I found it much easier to distinguish cites
and different levels of citations when the whole cited text were
fontified.
