I found the reason now and IMO it's worth to discuss again about it.
The reason was that people if they /wrote/ a message and a colon was the
first sign in a line gnus thought this line was a quote and so used the
text colour to indicate a citation.  IMO that happens rather seldom but
more often I see articles with a colon as indicator for a citation.
