Well, I remember vaguely something like that. You must be right about that
episode.

And you're right telling back what I said then: *code is better not boxed with
boxquote*, but put in Org blocks (at least in this mailing list). Gnus users
have some highlighting, and everybody sees where the snippet begins and ends,
and in which language it is. And that's the easiest method for everybody to
copy/paste code.

Thanks for the reminder!

Best regards,
  Seb
