A small suggestion and request: don't customise this too much, if at
all.  Many of us fontify or otherwise manipulate our emails based on
patterns to identify included citations etc.  For instance, I typically
have cited emails hidden (cf. gnus-treat-hide-citation).  Standards
and/or conventions are there for a reason.  If it ain't broke...

Thanks,
eric
