sergio my question is.. how are they doing that? A lot of us format our mails in emacs using filling, boxquotes, rectangles etc. Some of us even send mail through emacs. The most adventurous will read mail in emacs, using Gnus, or ViewMail, or Mew or an other package. So my guess is that the answer is emacs. -- Paul ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

For those using Firefox/Iceweasel addon It's All Text is worth looking into. Using this one can use Emacs anywhere there's a text box. -- Manish ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
