[Q] gnus/message bonus utility package ?

[Xavier Maillard]

Hi,

I used to use a "bonus" mode years ago which permitted thing like:

- inserting diff, patches
- inserting sisors to delimit an interesting part for a message
- inserting output from `describe-variable', etc.

I can't remember the name of this mode, does someone else know ?

Regards

-- Xavier.

I don't know about these.

Could you be thinking about boxquote.el here?

,----[ C-h f boxquote-describe-variable RET ]
| boxquote-describe-variable is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
| `boxquote.el'.
| 
| (boxquote-describe-variable)
| 
| Call `describe-variable' and boxquote the output into the current buffer.
`----


  Best regards,

This one is available in message mode: 

,----[ C-h f message-mark-inserted-region RET ]
| message-mark-inserted-region is an interactive compiled Lisp function
| in `message.el'.
| 
| It is bound to C-c M-m, <menu-bar> <Message> <Insert Region Marked>.
| 
| (message-mark-inserted-region BEG END &optional VERBATIM)
| 
| Mark some region in the current article with enclosing tags.
| See `message-mark-insert-begin' and `message-mark-insert-end'.
| If VERBATIM, use slrn style verbatim marks ("#v+" and "#v-").
|

Yes, boxquote ! Is it still maintained ?

I don't know, but version 1.4 (2009) from the emacs-goodies-el package
in Debian continues to work as advertised for me.
