Re: Email "cut here" code snippets

[Grant Rettke <gcr@wisdomandwonder.com>]

Me, too.

(defun gcr/chs ()
  "Insert opening \"cut here start\" snippet."
  (interactive)
  (insert "--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---"))

(defun gcr/che ()
  "Insert closing \"cut here end\" snippet."
  (interactive)
  (insert "--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---"))

One more person confesses and one of us will turn it into a package.
