<pre class="blue"><br>hey!<br><br>I was looking again at one of the last email from Michael in this<br>list[0], there is a special marker for code snippets that gnus<br>recognizes and applies a special coloring (a "face", I guess?).<br><br>So, the command is `message-mark-inserted-region` (C-c M-m), described<br>as "Mark some region in the current article with enclosing tags."<br><br>--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---<br>whatever goes inside here will appear different, right?<br>--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---<br><br>I was curious, so I've tried hacking this long marker string<br>(`message-mark-insert-begin` and `message-mark-insert-end`), can it be<br>made shorter?<br><br>If I am not wrong this is defined by a regexp in mm-ul.el:<br><br>--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---<br>(message-marks<br> ;; Text enclosed with tags similar to `message-mark-insert-begin' and<br> ;; `message-mark-insert-end'.

I'm sure this will save some trees when<br>sending emails around! :D<br><br>Anyway, it was fun digging into this completely useless thing and<br>customize my own shorter snippet message markers :)<br><br>happy hacking!<br><br>[0]: <a href="https://mailb.org/pipermail/emacs-berlin/2023/000997.html">https://mailb.org/pipermail/emacs-berlin/2023/000997.html</a><br><hr><br>emacs-berlin mailing list<br>emacs-berlin@emacs-berlin.org<br><a href="https://mailb.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-berlin">https://mailb.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-berlin</a><br></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
