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 sascha -- Sascha Wilde "Computers are good at following instructions, but not at reading your mind."
