The most important things are: - not base64-encoded. dmesgs sent b64-encoded are totally useless. - not html. hard to read in dmesglog and 'grep ^devicename' won't find your devices. Other than that, try hard to avoid quoted-printable. Line-wrapped is best avoided if possible but not quite so bad. If you have a 'clean' MUA somewhere, using a command-line pastebin is a fairly easy way of getting a dmesg there (e.g. sprunge.us, clbin, pbot.rmdir.de etc), several of these work via a form post which can be done as a pipe through curl.
