outline-minor-mode color on by default?

outline-minor-mode color on by default?

[Eladio Ventura]

I use outline-mode mainly to spice up my textfiles with some colors, but
alas when I use outline-minor-mode as a hook to text-mode, all I get is
the folding capability. I would like to be able see my files in funky
colors the minute desktop-mode has finished loading all my files when I
start up emacs. At present, I have to hit outline(-major)-mode for the 
Christmas lights to flare up, but I'd like to use text-mode as my major mode.

Can anyone help me? I've put the following in my dot-emacs:

(add-hook 'text-mode-hook
  (function (lambda ()
      (outline-minor-mode 1))))

I put the following at the end of text files to be used with
`outline-minor-mode' :

;;; Local Variables: ***
;;; mode: text ***
;;; font-lock-defaults: (outline-font-lock-keywords t nil nil backward-paragraph) ***
;;; End: ***

Is it ok ?

Yes, it works like a charm. Thanks a load, Matthias!

Just for the record: it shouldn't work (and I think it won't work
in future versions of Emacs) because it's a security hole.

Question: why `text-mode + outline-minor-mode' rather than `outline-mode' ?

You're right. It smells like a security hole, all right. I mainly want
text-mode for adaptive-fill-mode, but I'm rather new to emacs, so if you
know how to get the same color effect turned on by default I'm all ears.
Hold the phone, can't I put -*- mode: outline-mode -*- at the top of my
textfiles? How does that work?
