Hi, I have seen people highlighting code snippets in mail with "cut here markers": some ascii art for scissors, "cut here", "start", "end", ..., like so:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf ln -f -s /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- which is kind of nice, and simple (as I don't want to get into composing html mails with org-mime or the like). I get to see them "green on yellow" in gnus (once I have received such mails), or when in draft status (in my drafts folder). Two questions (at least): For one thing, I wonder if this behaviour is anywhere documented/specified/explained in more detail? And then: I would like to see my code green-on-yellow snippets in message mode as well (when composing mail), or at least as a toggle: see how my mail would look to the recipient. And how are people actually using these "cut here markers": insert them by hand, as I did above? Or is there some automatic support for this hidden somewhere? - Or any other mechanisms for such code snippets highlighting - in org mode nevertheless perhaps [?]: I don't want to send html mails, but maybe org-mime / orgmsg / etc. are useful for composing mails? I only use gnus - nothing else (TM). Thanks in advance, -A
