(No one objected to this solution.) If nothing else. the defface docstring seems wrong: "Font Lock mode face used to highlight comments." The defvar docstring (which does not appear in the Custom buffer) more accurately says: "Face name to use for comment delimiters." The best solution would seem to go for a mail specific face. Alternatively, one could write in the defvar and defface docstrings: "Font Lock mode face used to highlight comment delimiters. This is currently only used in a limited number of modes such as rmail-mode and mail-mode. In other modes, comment delimiters get fontified using `font-lock-comment-face'." Sincerely, Luc.
