Subject: How do you interact with org src blocks for your gmane.emacs.orgmode correspondence?
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2014 15:51:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87vbmzq2di.fsf@uw.edu> (raw)


When reading articles /from/ gmane.emacs.orgmode /in/ Gnus, I've observed that source blocks such as 

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(if this
    (then that))
#+END_SRC

and 

#+BEGIN_SRC org
,* TODO some headlines and                        :atag:
SCHEDULED: <2014-10-29 Wed>
- [ ] some other org-mode stuff
#+END_SRC

do receive syntax highlighting. But to take advantage of this and to write articles in this way my workflow is very awkward. Here is my present workflow, and I hope there is some simple or complex solution where others have a better workflow they can share: 

1. Cut some pieces from my .el or .org files, 
2. Paste into the scratch buffer,
3. Convert scratch buffer to Major mode org, 
4. Add src blocks using org-mode shortcuts ("<s TAB org" or "selisp SPC"),
5. Edit as needed for email, for instance taking advantage of indenting etc. in "C-c '" mode
6. Cut and paste from scratch buffer to email draft
7. Edit email
8. If extensive editing of src blocks is needed while drafting, may consider switching back to scratch buffer including further cutting and pasting

This seems wholly inefficient, and I'm hoping there is some obviously easier way to do it, no matter how much elisp is needed. 

I am not sure it is relevant, but my rather vanilla Gnus setup includes drafting mail in Message buffer. I didn't quickly find how to switch to drafting with Gnus, so I make the cursory assumption that this is not the trick to at least seeing highlighting of src blocks while drafting emails.
