Recently I had a system crash when my gnus session was up and running.
After restarting my system and re-entering gnus (fairly recent Oort),
the message highlighting behavior has become excessive.  This only
occurs when I'm in message mode (i.e., composing or replying to a
message), at which time I get the "fruit salad" look for the message
headers, quoted lines, etc.  The messages look just fine when I'm
reading them in article mode.

I presume that some configuration file of mine got trashed during the
system crash, thereby allowing some previously-set gnus variable to
revert to its default, over-colorizing behavior.  But I can't figure
out which variable this is.  All my 'gnus-treat-*' variables are fine,
since the messages look exactly the way I want them to look in article
mode.

My ~/.xemacs/custom.el file is just fine, by the way ... it's the same
as it was before the crash.

So ... could anyone suggest which variable(s) normally affect this
fruit-salad behavior in message mode?

Thanks in advance.
