Leans what face is at point

Leans what face is at point

[Harry Putnam]

I used to now how to do this in gnus:

  put cursor on a message header and lean what that face was with
  a [few?] keypress[es].

Something the showed the gnus face at point.
And I could then go directoy to that face to customize it. Using M-x
customize-aprops

I'm not finding this in any of the help available at M-x apropos

 display.*face,  show.*face, face.*point

or even just `face' and C-s search for as many stings as I could think
of.

I think what you want is list-text-properties-at (can't remember if there
should be a "point" on the end of that or not in Emacs

I remember that one too but I get nothing here with:

M-x list-text<spc>  No matches for text.

I seem to recall that being moved or replaced.  

Maybe its now C-u C-x =
But that info is useless regarding faces.

C-h i m emacs and then Index search on list-text-properties
fails as well.

What I'm after outputs the gnus face name of text under cursor or at
point (Maybe only in headers) as I recall in gnus-face names readily
findable with customize-face.  Not text properties but face name. (not
font)

In xemacs it is "list-text-properties-at" (found with "C-h a").
