Hi all,

I don't know how many people use rebox.el.  A package by Francois Pinard.
 It's awesome.  You can put text into boxes.  Change boxing style easily.
 The predefined boxing styles system is well thought out.  New styles are
easily added.  It is awesome.  However, I never hear anyone talk about it.
 Maybe, it's because it takes some effort to actually figure out how to use
it, and it didn't handle some corner cases very well.

I've made rebox2, which adds some features, some styles, and hopefully has a
more intuitive interface.  I also added a minor mode (rebox-mode) makes
editing in boxes seamless.  I e-mailed Francois 2 months ago about
integrating my changes, and never heard anything back, so hopefully
releasing a fork is not bad etiquette.

Sounds interesting. I've used boxquote a bit, but had not heard of
rebox.

Boxquote is a style I added to rebox2.  Of course, now you get auto-fill and
seameless editing within boxquoted boxes as well.

The bottom left command-log window is mwe-command-log.  Right window is
org-mode.  I started with emacs -Q, and  added rebox2 and filladapt package
dirs to load-path.  Recording happened in Camtasia on Vista.

I expect there to be lots of bugs, since interactive stuff tends to break
when used in different environments.  Feel free to contact me personally if
you spot an issue.
