Now, I'd even advice you to use =C-c C-v C-d=, the Babel code markup. I've signed the FSF papers, and its automatic fontifying (using Org mode faces) should be integrated in the Gnus dev code. #+begin_src sh date #+end_src (see a recent thread on that) But the following: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- date --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- is still good. for code.. ;-) and maybe supported in other emailers than Gnus?
