I hadn't thought of that. I started using boxquote because I was looking for an easier way to set off code. But if it's a nuisance or a problem to new users, then I'd be happy to modify the variable boxquote-side accordingly. Something like this perhaps? ,---- (setq boxquote-side " ") `---- What do others think? Is this readable enough? The only downside is that the cursor has to be on the beginning or ending line for commands such as boxquote-unbox or boxquote-yank or boxquote-narrow-to-boxquote to work.
