I also have an editor I think is rather good (PrimalScript).
When I copy and paste a troublesome block into an email, the code becomes an unholy mess I must dive into and manually fix, line by line.
I've emailed myself several times, to see just what you folks are begin subjected to. By god, it ain't pretty. Like London afer the Blitz. I feel obligated to wade on in and hammer things into a readable format.
Takes a while sometimes, but the feedback I receive from everyone is so bloody good I consider the time and effort I spend doing this to be entirely worthwhile.

Greetings $Bill,
No excuse. Format it properly, compile it using 'use strict;' and 'use warnings;' till it has no errors (or produces the expected error) and then post it by cutting and pasting into the email (from your text editor). If you don't have a good text editor, I would go out and get one and learn it if you plan on doing any amount of coding (Vim and Emacs are free, multi-platform and very good products).
I have an editor that I think is pretty good (Optiperl) The problem is that when I paste it into the e-mail, the mail program (The Bat) makes a mess that can not be edited within the mail program. This is my only serious complaint about the bat and I am too committed to change programs. I did a lot of pre-editing to make it less of a mess. When I paste it in, it still messes up the indenting and I can not edit it without making a total mess.
