It is possible:

Just look! (It is red.)

And this is yellow: I'm rubber, you're glue.

Have a look:

Note tho I had to do `text-mode' first as the
colorizing stuff isn't supported for `message-mode'
just yet. Something you could add, perhaps?

Anyway what you look for is the `facemenu-' stuff,
e.g., `facemenu-set-foreground' which I used for the
examples above.

By the way, anyone who is interested in colorizing the
message buffer, check out this little pearl from the
bottomless pit of the technicolor ocean:

(font-lock-add-keywords 'message-mode
 '(
   ("`\\(.*?\\)'" (1 font-lock-reference-face))
   )
 t)

And the next step is a function that colorizes it red
if there isn't such a function or variable defined!

Dig (dive) deep :)
