What face is quoted text in a reply message?

What face is quoted text in a reply message?

[Arcady Genkin]

I would like to change color of quoted text in a 'reply and yank'
message buffer from red to something more pleasant. Which face should
I hack?

Thanks!

M-x list-faces-display RET shows you all faces, and guessing that it
must be a message face will quickly direct you to
message-cited-text-face.

Wow, `list-faces-display' is really cool! Thanks!

On a side note, why don't faces come up in apropos search? I was
pretty sure that the face I was looking for started with `message',
and ended with `face', but doing "C-h, a" "message-*-face" only brings
`message-face-alist'...

Try "message-.*-face" instead.  Your regexp would match message-face,
message--face, message---face, message----face, ...

Oh, I see. But "message-.*-face" doesn't come up with anything at
all. (I guess it's time I finally learned my emacs regexps.)

Probably because faces are not variables.  In some cases, I've seen
variables declared to reference faces and those cases, you click on
the face name in hyper-apropos and the info on the face will be
displayed.  For example C-h a face shows, in the variables area,
gnus-face-0.  Click on that and I see a value of 'bold.  Click on bold
and I get a list of the font, color and other attributes of the face.

Don't use C-h a (apropos-command).  Use M-x apropos, which does pick
things up.

Damn, I've been binding C-h a to hyper-apropos for so long I'd forgot
it wasn't the default.  Sorry for any confusion.  Yes, M-x apropos
brings up faces along with everything else.

Thanks, Alan. M-x apropos worked.
