Perhaps in general they are, but specifically, I'd prefer code that's decently long to be attached or pastebinned. e-mail clients and servers are often unfriendly on code. That's the point of attachments. Differentiating between data and text, so the various middlemen can manipulate the text however they feel without affecting the 'payload', as it were. P.S. every single e-mail I've ever gotten from you has come with an attachment. It's called part 1.2.txt and contains """ _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor """ Based on this observation alone, I'd have to say I don't think the tutor list minds attachments. > > In your case, the list appears to have filtered off the code.

It's not inherently less intrusive to paste the code inline, and it has unpleasant side-effects in certain situations. Most e-mail clients that I'm aware of are set to, by default, inline the code at the end of the e-mail as you're viewing it anyway. -Luke _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
