It is specified in Debian mailing list "code of conduct":

I personally prefer long logs and snapshot images are linked unless
otherwise specified (i.e., if the user does not have Internet access,
embedded those inside the e-mail is right).
External logs provide a better reading and understanding as MUA tends to
auto "wrap" lines and it becomes difficult to read them.
