FWIW, I suspect that we ought to document that *anything* (bug reports,
patches, etc.) sent should be reachable without the need to run javascript
or any similar crap.  Not sure what would be the best place for that,
though...

Seriously, this is pretty much on the same level as "don't send me
a binary as reproducer - I'm not going to run it".  Folks on these
lists are fairly tempting as targets; betting on the sandbox quality
in chromium/firepox/whatnot...  sorry, no.

*IF* hastebin really produces crap that can't be accessed without
interpreter of some sort, just bounce any mail that contains such links
with the obvious explanation.
