easier to know when different faces were being used. Will fix this and
provide updates in the next day or so. Note that you can now use M-x
customize-face to change the settings for any of the faces used by VM.

With the summary colours stuff loaded, we have quite a few different faces.
The plan is to set them by default to use various standard Emacs/Xemacs
faces. However, I'd be interested in hearing which faces people would prefer
the defaults to be. Some are fairly obvious choices IMO. For example, under
Emacs, using 'link for hyperlinks, 'highlight for the summary buffer
hilighted message and 'button or widget-button for vm-mime-button etc. Other
faces are less obvious - for example vm-summary-deleted,
vm-summary-forwarded, vm-summary-saved etc. All of these will be set by
default to inherit from one of the standard faces, such as one of the
font-lock-* faces, but which ones to use for these cases is less obvious.

Keep the feedback coming, it is very useful!
