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.
Well said.
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.
To be specific, the OP needs boxquote.el. I have it bound thus:
,
| (define-key mode-specific-map [?q] 'boxquote-region)
`
So in Gnus it's C-c q on a region in
,
| order to boxquote like this
`
And with things like It's All Text, be aware of emacs --daemon and
emacsclient -c.
e.g In my .xsession I have:
,
| pidof emacs || emacs --daemon
`
which starts emacs if not already running as a server.
Then one can have a permanent emacs server running and connect to it
from a terminal, script etc. using
,
| emacsclient
`
Note that its all text requires full path e.g
,
| /usr/local/bin/emacsclient
`
The daemon is a feature of Emacs 23 which I pull from the following git
repository
,
| git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs.git
`
All good stuff!
