Wouldn't a simple one-liner like this do the trick?

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.

Re: Is a gmail/text-flow dmesg better than no dmesg?

Cheers man. All the best to you too -- and to everybody else around.

Guess I deserved that one. To my defence: I was simply incapable of
imagine a scenario where Gmail would be the only option for sending a
dmesg somewhere.

But – A Happy New Year to you and everyone on the list!

Okay, that's a wrap that shouldn't be there.

Okay, so dmesg should be sent by mutt or sylpheed, et, al., if we're
having trouble getting the default mail client to connect to the
outside world.

Is a gmail/text-flow dmesg better than no dmesg?

[ropers]

It says here  that one
should not send dmesg@ mail that's text-flow reformatted (which I
AFAIK gmail always does, unavoidably).

If (for whatever reasons) the choice is between gmail-dmesgs or no
dmesgs, would gmail dmesgs be preferable to none (however unloved
their text-flow shenanigans may be)?

it does, but only if you use web/mobile clients. there is no reformat if
you use smtp directly (not compatible with 2-factor auth).

posting to lists using gmane also works.

Citation needed? App-specific passwords work.

So, if I redirect a dmesg to a file, open the file with gedit, select
all, copy, and paste into this xombrero window on the gmail web
client, something bad happens to the dmesg text?
