For even better looking code in gnus, I personally prefer to use org as
my export target (rather than ascii), and with "Org-mode code block
fontification" configuration from
http://eschulte.github.com/emacs-starter-kit/starter-kit-gnus.html
code blocks inside org-mode markup will be correctly fontified in gnus
messages.

good idea, I've just added a series of hooks to org-mime which will be
called in a temporary buffer holding the text to be exported, so you
could add a function here to add scissor lines around code blocks.  Like
Sam I would discourage the use of boxquotes for anything that users may
want to cut and paste.  For ascii use the `org-mime-pre-ascii-hook'.

If you come up with useful hooks it may be nice to share them on worg at
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-mime.php
