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?
Best regards,
Seb
