Great you love it. I'm *VERY* pleased. Moreover, having no reaction on that
(and on some other posts[1]), I thought I'd been kill-filed ;-)[2]

I _never_ observed problems in my case. Anyway, adding such a protection is
the code is a great addition. Thanks!

I've just singed the FSF papers. Once received by the FSF, I'll propagate your
update onto the Gnus newsgroup.

When I have a bit of time (not directly ;-(), I will try adding missing bits:

- colorization of such =org-verbatim= strings, and
- of the =:results= "blocks" or lines.

A difficulty, maybe, for the latter is the absence of explicit marker. Not
that true: it's a newline...

When that will be done, we will have a real Org experience when reading mails
with Gnus. I love all this tools.

Best regards,
  Seb

[1] I will send an updated version on the one about sh session.
[2] Just kidding. Using org-footnote BTW.
