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.

The message highlighting stuff is all done by font-lock, so you should
twiddle with `message-font-lock-keywords' to get a different behavior.

Gnus uses font-lock for message mode, whereas it uses the
gnus-treat-* variables for displaying articles.

Thanks. Making some font-lock changes among my customizations fixed
the problem. But now, what I'm mystified about is why I had the
problem to begin with. I hadn't upgraded Gnus or XEmacs or any elisp
packages, and I can't find any files that were corrupted by the system
crash.
