text if it is small. If the message is larger, you may compress it using
@file{gzip}, @file{bzip2}, or @file{pkzip}. Please be aware that sending
compressed files needs an additional binary-safe mechanism such as

compressed. Don't think that posting a URL to the code is better, we do
want to archive bug reports, and not all maintainers have good network
connectivity to download large pieces of software when they need them;
it's much easier for them to have them in their mailboxes.
