For nice highlight:

| Gnus also understands some non-MIME attachments, such as postscript,
| uuencode, binhex, yenc, shar, forward, gnatsweb, pgp, diff.  Each of

| `emacs-sources'
|      Emacs source code.  This item works only in the groups matching

| 
| `diff'
|      Patches.  This is intended for groups where diffs of committed
|      files are automatically sent to.  It only works in groups matching
|      `mm-uu-diff-groups-regexp'.
