158 lines is probably not a killer.  However, consider what misbehaving news
and mail readers are likely to do to the indentation of your script before
embedding it in a message.  The net being the somewhat less safe place than
it used to be, many people may be hesitant to open attachments either.  It
might well be safer to simply toss it on a personal website and provide a
link.
