Various answers:

o Get a better mailer; one that doesn't screw with your formatting; 
smart-quote; etc.

o Post via the web  interface.  It seems to respect one's formatting.  Long 
lines and non-ASCII characters such as "π" may result in Q-P encoding.  But 
that's revertible.

o Add a fictitious ".txt" extension to your file (e.g. program.JCL.txt) and 
post it as an attachment.  Once I posted a MIME-encoded binary file using a 
technique such as that and successfully decoded it when I received it.

Or, one of Robert's suggestions:
