There's a website that's specifically for sharing code in newsgroups and mailing lists. http://rafb.net/paste/ >From their FAQ: "A 'nopaste' site allows people to paste chunks of code for others to view. This is useful for situations such as asking for programming help on IRC, where it is frowned upon to paste chunks of code to the channel or to individual. With a nopaste site, the user pastes his or her code to the site and is given a url to provide to others so they can find the code. " You paste your code there and you're given a url that you can share. The code that's shown is syntax-highlighted for readers.
