However, it seems that "[^\nf]*foo" would succeed, avoiding the stack explosion. So, it is possible to rework the regexpes around the limitation. Surely not a fun job to do for Org regexpes, I know. Maybe not worth doing as very long lines are unusual, yet maybe worth doing nevertheless for Org files because long lines are still possible. The fact is that I was hit by this problem in the Org buffers generated by org-grep. However, as I am tempted to think that the problem is unlikely to be solved soon, I tried to alleviate it. org-grep now shortens the lines by removing, within each line, a good part of the context between hits. This does not guarantee that the above problem will never occur, but it considerably decreases the chance that it occurs. > I cut and paste and then use either C-c m (bound to > message-mark-inserted-region) or C-c q (bound to boxquote-region) Thanks for these hints, which I saved on keys here! :-) > Of course, if your problem is that your mailer (or some mailer along > the way) mangles the content, then the safest thing to do is to put it > in an attachment or post it on some pastebin and send a link. Sure. My little problem was different. If I use Org in-line markup, like bold, italics, or links to Web sites, or even block markup like fragments between #+BEGIN_SRC and #+END_SRC, say, I was wondering how this is best transmitted within a message, in the text, without resorting to an attachment. Gnus as a reader surely has some capability somewhere, as I think I saw messages displaying Org code nicely; I just do not remember how it was done. Outside Gnus, it might be more problematic to find a useful way to have Org included. Sending Org all raw is sometimes a bit noisy, especially for links. Someone recently mentioned org-mime.el, new to me, maybe this is the proper avenue? I should at least play and experiment with it! :-). François
