As a programmer who uses regular syntax highlighting, I would like to see vcs-annotate highlight the rest of my lines in the usual highlighting so that I can better adjust the between contexts visually, with a split screen.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a C++ file, where C++ files are syntax highlighted
2. Run :VCSBlame

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect my C++ code to appear the same on the top as on the bottom (with the 
extra columns), but instead the syntax highlighting is lost, and all C++ code 
is uncolored.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
vcscommand 1.99.43
I am using this on vim 7.3.29.
I am using vim on Fedora Linux, "Red Hat 4.4.4-10"

Please provide any additional information below.

Have you tried using :VCSAnnotate!
?

This is using VCSAnnotate. Well, it uses VCSBlame, but I get the same result.

All text to the left of the first two columns appear as white.

For example, on the top part of my screenshot, #include appears purple. 
<stdio.h> appears red. "using" appears yellow. etc. On the bottom part, all of 
that appears white.

Correction, "All text to the right of ..." (not left)

That looks like you're using ":VCSAnnotate", not ":VCSAnnotate!".  The second 
should accomplish what you're requesting.
