On a technical point, I fail to see how you can have both leading white spaces preserved and lists interpreted, in a reasonable way. Thus, as VERSE environment preserves those spaces, lists can only be left uninterpreted there. Perhaps what you are missing is a block where only line breaks are verbatim. There's an export option to preserve them on the whole file but not on a part of a document, AFAIK. > For the emails, what environment would you advice me to use in > general? The patched VERSE, or back to EXAMPLE (distinguished from > RESULT, since Eric's patch to wrap the Org results)? I think VERSE (patched) is better than EXAMPLE because you can still benefit from text markup (and LaTeX snippets). Sadly, mails can sometimes be, well, very distant from poetry... Regards, -- Nicolas
