You might attach the shell script as application/x-sh rather
than text/x-sh¹. That should encode it, and display it as an
attachment on the web, as with:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2021/03/msg01494.html
making it easier to download. And mutt, for example, would
display it via the attachment menu, ready for downloading.
AIUI, the policy is to immediately display text/… attachments,
though mutt demarcates them better than firefox does. I suppose
one could always wrap the text file into a trivial shell script.
However, before doing this as a general policy, it's worth
checking that websites you expect to be archiving/forwarding
your posts are not stripping attachments. (Some do.)
¹ I have no idea how different MUAs, and posting sites like
gmail, would force this. Mutt does it as a matter of course,
and that can be checked before sending, by first postponing
the message, and then searching the contents of the Postponed
mailbox for "Content-Type: application/x-sh".
Cheers,
David.
