IMHO, the reason is, if nothing else, that this is how Mail mode
behaved on a tty since v21.1, and users did not complain too loudly
(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 can't even tell
which clause in the defface is used. How would I find that out?
