Please note it is `C-c M-m' (bound in `message.el') for adding "cut
here" lines above and below the region.

OTOH, `C-c q' seems to be Nick's own binding.

Using `C-c M-m' will add "cut here" lines, and Gnus will highlight the
code inside it with one common color: so, no syntax highlighting
depending on the language.

Using `C-c C-v C-d' to demarcate your region as code, and give the
language, you'll get a nice highlighting of the code inside Gnus (for
the readers): that was on my first real patch for Org (in fact, for
Gnus), back in November 2010 or so.

This is mainly useful for sending HTML-export (or Org-export) of an Org
section.
