I'm using Gnus - but I'm not the one reading the post.

How will that make it look for people not using Gnus?

I like to have my posts totally client-agnostic. But if
it doesn't bloat the post with too much
incomprehensible metadata for the non-Gnuser, I'll
consider it - why not encourage people to switch to
Gnus?

OK - here is the attached Elisp:

Wait - `C-c RET' is undefined, it says.

Do you mean I (or any Gnuser reading such messages)
should use your keystrokes in message-mode to get the
highlight? But there, `C-c RET' is `gnus-article-mail'!
What are the names of the commands?

You mean like this:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (defun org-xor (a b)
     "Exclusive or."
     (if a (not b) b))
#+END_SRC

Org manual example from:

http://orgmode.org/manual/Working-With-Source-Code.html

I have the same concerns for that method, but let's see
how that works, as well.
