I have finally succumbed the temptation, and started using XEmacs with
a dark background (in fact, a dark background pixmap.) I noticed that
some of the message faces are totally unreadable on dark backgrounds
-- specifically `message-separator-face' and
`message-header-other-face'.
Now, I am aware of the standard explanation that they (especially
message-separator-face') are dark so they don't draw your attention,
etc. but too much is too much. The `--text follows this line--'
string *is* here to be read, after all.
In the spirit of other faces, I've set the foreground color of
`message-header-other-face' to "#b00000", and `message-separator-face'
to "blue3". They are still sufficiently dark, but not totally
unreadable. How about changing the defaults?
Comments?

I've now changed the defaults in Quassia 0.14.

Yup. Fixed in Gnus v5.4.22.

I just downloaded and compiled gnus-5.4.21 (which I'm using with GNU
Emacs 19.34), and I am having problems with fontification of message
buffers; in particular, these buffers are not getting fontified at
all. I get error messages like, "Symbol's value as variable is void:
message-header-to-face". I notice that message-header-to-face is a
new addition to message.el; is there some simple patch to make this
thing (and the other message-header-*-face variables) work? All of my
outgoing mail looks so drab and boring right now, I'm hesitant to
actually send anything... (In fact, when I hit C-c C-c to send this,
I get the same error, and as far as I can tell, no message gets sent.
I have to switch to mail-mode to actually send the damn thing.)
