A 40KB limitation on messages is probably inappropriate in the year 2017.

If you have attachment, share it via web.

text is welcome pastebin or paste.debian.org (since this list runs on
lists.debian.org).

pastebins are certainly an option, but I would like to reiterate the point I was
trying to make in the other thread:

"-DDD" or "-DD", depending on where you look in the
documentation. The usbhid-ups driver is fairly verbose, so "-DD" is
usually good enough for a first pass.

This lets me do a "zgrep" on previous logs to find similarities. If
logs come in as Zip files, or inline, it certainly isn't the end of the
world, but it lengthens the search.
a pastebin post is usually ephemeral, and depends on someone grabbing a large
enough chunk in a mail reply in order to be archived long-term.
