(Er, given this list allows MIME multipart messages, why not as an
attachment here? Having to further fetch it from a web server adds one
hop that may not always be available, not to mention some of these sites
tend to add stuff instead of defaulting to presenting it raw (although
IIRC wgetpaste has an option to provide the direct link?).)
