That can be fixed without making the whole thing illegible. E.g. -------------------------------------------------------- emacs-lisp (defun sm-foo () (try that)) -------------------------------------------------------- This said, I find (defun sm-foo () (try that)) to be a lot more legible anyway, even without any fancy coloring. If we want to get more fancy, then I think MIME is a good solution. Stefan
