For anyone using gnus, I think a good alternative is to use message-mark-inserted region. Select a region and hit C-c M-m to get --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- a region set apart in this manner. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- If you use a prefix on the command, C-u C-c M-m, you get slrn style verbatim marks, #v+ resulting in a region set a part in this manner. #v- Gnus gives nice highlighting in buffers containing sections like these. Even for mail readers that don't recognize them, I think at least the first is a good way of setting examples apart from the rest of the text. FWIW, I do like boxquote for quoting excerpts from Info pages. On an info page, put some text into the kill ring (I use kill-ring-save, which is M-w in my setup). Then call M-x boxquote-info. ,----[ (info "(message)Insertion") ] | `C-c M-m' | Mark some region in the current article with enclosing tags. See | `message-mark-insert-begin' and `message-mark-insert-end'.
