I'm not using Rmail, but mail-mode from sendmail.el with font lock on
a text console on a daily basis. And I liked the old behavior better
-- but I guess you know that by now. ;-)
Maybe introducing special faces for fontification in mail-mode, like
Eli suggested, would be the right thing to do, so anyone could
customize them without affecting fontification in other modes.
An other possibility might be to introduce a way to customize whether
to fontify the whole cited text or only the markers...
cheers
