Support for slrn-style verbatim marks

[Reiner Steib <reinersteib+gmane@imap.cc>]

Hi,

slrn users often include verbatim text[1] like this:

#v+
some text
#v-

See e.g. <news:20050922091531.GA30618@nic-nac-project.de>
(gmane.network.leafnode) or <news:9361.20809.1127310956@news.jors.net>
(de.comp.security.misc)

I though it would be nice if Gnus would display these verbatim text in
a different color and it would also be nice to treat these parts as
MIME (save to file, ...).  So I implemented it.

Comments welcome.  Maybe someone can think of nicer names instead of
"verbatim-marks" or "mm-uu-extract".

Bye, Reiner.

| Type: integer
| Default: 1
| 
| If this variable is set to a non-zero value, slrn will interpret
| text enclosed by "#v+" and "#v-" (on a line of their own) as
| ``verbatim''. Verbatim text will be displayed according to the color
| object verbatim; emphasized text it might contain will not be
| highlighted. This is especially useful when dealing with source
| code.
| 
| Note: slrn is currently the only program that interprets these
| verbatim marks. This is due to the lack of a standard that would
| describe a way to mark text as ``verbatim'' in usenet articles.

Obviously the first sentence of the note is not true anymore. ;-)
