Unless you edit your code with Photoshop, don't use screenshots to send 
pictures of code. Send the code itself. Just copy and paste it.

Not only are binary attachments like images, videos, sound files etc 
deleted by the mailing list, but screen shots make it hard for the 
visually impaired and blind to contribute to the discussion.

They also make it impossible for the recipients to work with the posted 
code, since it isn't text that can be copied and tested and edited, just 
pixels.

That's because it isn't a list.
