Can I make a suggestion?  After glancing at the code for hilit.el (the
non-tek based one that colours various parts of the code) it would be
nice to be able to specify a bit of context via the regexps, as well as
the regexp for the parts to be highlighted.  For example, it would be
nice (in vm) to take the From line

	From:  bob@hypothetical.com (Bob Bob)

and highlight the name (Bob Bob) without highlighting the rest of the
from line.  

Also, the stuff doesn't see to behave well if it doesn't find a colour
or font ... the text ended up the same colour as the background!
Is that a function of my using Epoch v3.2 instead of v4?
