Why render normal text with fontification whenever possible?

Why render normal text with fontification whenever possible?

[Stephen Berman]

Since this change:

2011-03-21  Julien Danjou  <julien@danjou.info>

	* mm-view.el (mm-display-inline-fontify): Make mode optional, and call
	normal-mode if not set. Set temp buffer unmodified to avoid kill-buffer
	query.
	(mm-inline-text): Render normal text with fontification whenever
	possible.

plain text in MIME parts between quotation marks is shown in
font-lock-string-face.  I couldn't find any discussion about this on the
list, so I don't know what the motivation for it is, but I don't like
it.  Is it possible to suppress just this fontification?  If not, I
would like to request that it be made configurable.  Thanks,

Steve Berman

I just noticed that too. This is a side effect of that new feature, it
fontifies with fundamental mode. What a weird idea. :)
I've blacklisted this mode for fontification, since it has no interest.
