Those pastes expire after 24 hours -- at most. Anyone who
doesn't read the thread within that time won't be able to
see the context. I consider that a strong reason to avoid
it for mailing list posts.
Ugh, that's not good. If that is the case, then that needs to be
fixed. Discarding attachments or expiring them damages messages in the
archive.
And worse, the Mailing List Guidelines says to use the service. Cf.,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines#No_attachments.
