Box quote may look nice but it's more difficult to copy the code. Plain
text lines, possibly with indentation, is better:
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(setq fill-column 78)
(turn-on-auto-fill)))
Or maybe plain lines with "cut" markers:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(setq fill-column 78)
(turn-on-auto-fill)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
