I'm using the listings package in my lab notebook both for code and for including copies of emails. It works fine.
But because I can never remember the options I use for emails (mainly to allow me to paste them in directly without changing some characters), I'd like to create a new environment that's an alias. I can't seem to get it to work.
An MWE is below. If I uncomment the \begin{lstlisting}[inputencoding=latin1, style=email] and the associated \end{lstlisting}, and comment the \begin{Email} and its \end, it works fine. If I leave it as is, I get
! LaTeX Error: \begin{Email} on input line 96 ended by \end{document}.
which doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Obviously something's wrong with my \newenvironment command, but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is! Any suggestions?
MWE:
