I'm guessing that you use a standard terminal that supports 8 colors.
If so, look here:

With just 8 colors, I doubt there is a better alternative.
What are the standard 8 colors?

The original intention was very clearly to replace mail-mode and to not be
specific to Gnus. But since noone else picked it up, it has of course been

Nobody ever asked me about installing message-mode. It was installed
as "part of Gnus". I think the Gnus developers should have talked
with me before planning to implement another mode for composing mail.

I doubt that this is the case. (I certainly used Rmail on text
consoles many times, but that's just me.)

it's easier to distinguish cited text from the rest of the buffer
content, even without looking at the beginning of the lines.
I find it easy to distinguish with the citation markers fontified.
They are bright red and very visible.

IMHO, the reason is, if nothing else, that this is how Mail mode

(or we would have changed that).
Maybe hardly anyone used font lock on Rmail buffers in text consoles.
I don't know how to try changing this, because I

It makes a lot of sense to me. It just makes it so much easier to

I find it helps a lot to focus my eye when writing a mail-message with
lots of cited text; it makes it much easier to see

This is a general problem of font-lock-mode on a text console.
As I wrote
In that case, wouldn't it be sufficient to change the default font
used for cited text?
There may not be many choices on a text console. Anyway, I don't
see any reason why cited text should be fontified.

Why was that change made?
Because I found the cited text hard to read with that font.

On 2005/04/17 the font-lock-keywords in mail/rmail.el and
mail/sendmail.el were changed, so that teh text of citations is no
longer fontified (only the leading mark, normally "> " is...).
Why was that change made? I found it much easier to distinguish cites
and different levels of citations when
