Hi,

I'm using org-mode from git repository at commit

`----

I have 2 questions regarding `org-mime-htmlize'.

1. How do I quote verbatim code?

   BEGIN_SRC/END_SRC or BEGIN_EXAMPLE/END_EXAMPLE do not do
   what I wanted.  They follow all the mark-up changes,
   which are not desirable.  The only way I found is using
   `=', which is not convenient for multi-line code.

2. Why all the <br />?

   With mono-spaced fonts in text/plain, line break looks
   nice.  But I don't think those line-breaks need to be
   preserved even after export to html.

Thanks for the good work though.

I'm not sure what you mean here.  This should work exactly as does
exporting from an org-mode file, so for example exporting the following
begin/end_example block with `org-mime-htmlize' (which I've done) wraps
the results in a <pre> and does not perform any markup (not gnus does
some markup like bolding and underlining on it's own, following rules
similar to the org markup).

#+begin_example
some stuff here, *not bold*, /not italicized/, etc...

preserve
  line
  breaks
like in code
#+end_example

If you have another example which demonstrates your problem please
share.

Use the following to change this behavior

  (setq org-mime-preserve-breaks nil)

Perhaps this should be the default setting.  I currently have this set
to true because quoted mail (i.e. lines starting with ">") can look very
bad with line wrapping.

I tried again and it does work.  I guess I probably did
something wrong in my first try.  Sorry for the noise.

I see the problem.  Is it possible to detect quoted mail and
enclose it between '#+begin_src' and '#+end_src'?

My personal solution has been to only call org-mime-htmlize on active
regions, ensuring that the htmlized text is of my own making and leaving
the quoted mail as plain/text.

I'm not sure of an existing mailer-independent method of recognizing
quoted mail (especially given the variety of different ways of quoting
mail "> " "| " etc...).  It is probably possible to use mailer
(e.g. gnus, WL, etc...) specific functions to notice quoted mail,
however that could complicate the org-mime.el code substantially.

My gut feeling is that this feature may be more work to implement and
maintain than it's worth, but I could be wrong.

Thanks -- Eric
