O.K.  Setting font-lock-keywords is evil, but
message-font-lock-keywords works.

(setq steves-smtp-nntp-headers '("^[A-Za-z][-0-9A-Za-z]*:"))
(defun steves-article-highlight-headers ()
  "Hook for coloring news post and mail send buffers."
  (setq message-font-lock-keywords steves-smtp-nntp-headers)
  (turn-on-font-lock))
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'steves-article-highlight-headers)

Appears to do what I was doing before message.el.

Well, what I really meant was the headers Gnus used to display, like
To:, Cc:, Subject:, References:, In-Reply-To: (in that order) at the
top.  And Gcc:, Fcc: at the bottom, with custom headers and other Gnus
supplied headers in between.

Lars> Hm.  I just wrote the damn thing.  `sort-subr' is nice.

I don't know about ``hard way''.  I like very much the kind of header
highlighting done already when reading articles.  All I'm really
interested in doing is applying the same function to a message prior
to editing.

The vital headers like Newsgroups:, To:, Cc:, and Subject: I want to
have in separate, visually standing out colors.  I'll settle for just
getting them to appear the same way they do when I'm reading an
article.
