It looks like the above fontifies the snippet in a separate buffer
(switching that buffer to the requested major mode), then copies the
result as a string to the display buffer.  But won't the string be
immediately re-fontified in the buffer that displays the email, as
appropriate for the major mode in the email buffer?
