May I suggest that this is a case for using an attachment? The list allows them, you know, and they're much easier to deal with than program code as loose text within an email message
I'm not too keen on adding attachments to mailing lists, especially since it is known for them to be removed. One thing I didn't do was to wrap the script with <snippet> </snippet> marks.
It is _known_ that they are _not removed_. (Just look at the "Suspicious Update" thread for an example. In that case, it's an image attachment, no less. Yours was just a text file.)
(though I commend you for not allowing the lines to wrap—most people don't even bother to do that).
What I should have done isn't make the long lines so they didn't wrap, but to split them up to make the script easier to read.
I refuse to be limited by the data formats of 30+ years ago... I mean, Hollerith cards? Come on.
