Firstly, I notice some of the regular posters wrap org source in the #+ style org wrappers, others use a <--8--cut-here---8--> or some similar "horizontal-rule", and yet others use some sort of vertical "quoting": .---- | like this | or this .__ My first question is two-fold: 1) how did you come to use this style for quoting code in your replies, and 2) mind sharing the macros or letting us know what packages you use that help make your e-mails look tidy? Secondly, and somewhat related to the first, are orgsters simply using gnus with message-mode hook to utilize org footnotes? I've noticed I can style/face the text with a message-mode hook, but I'm wondering how everyone deals, in general, with plain text footnotes in e-mail? Do you even use footnotes for sharing links? Lastly, are any orgsters using gnus+gmail? I've tried just reading org list mails in gnus, but I find switching back and forth to be jarring if I read org list e-mails in a browser throughout the day, since I end up re-reading a lot of mails. Also, mind sharing how you've mapped the cumbersome "B m [Gmail]/Trash" to a better key? If anyone feels inspired, I'd use a package that utilized gmail movement shortcuts in gnus (so mark with x, move out of inbox with e, or move to trash (as above) with #). Thanks for taking the time to respond!
