I wasn't sure how whether or not extra long lines (e.g. LUKS format
hashes) will survive.

But the mail archive's won't help.

The plain text file fail_clipperz attached to my mail

Message-ID: <BLU0-SMTP1730A86A68283B01D59F9D5FDC80@....gbl>

ended up mangled in different ways here (@ in mail address replaced):

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.openwall.john.devel/10244

and here (lines wrapped and mail addresses mangled):

http://www.openwall.com/lists/john-dev/2014/01/01/5


How can I be sure that the issues I report can be reproduced with these
mangled versions of my files.


And the fail.pw.tgz file attached to my earlier mail ends up here:
http://cache.gmane.org//gmane/comp/security/openwall/john/devel/10234-001.bin

In this case, at least the contents is the same I posted, you just have
to rename the file after downloading it.
But who knows whether or not an attached .tgz file might be mangled as
well, depending on the contents? I don't

Creating GitHub issues as a reminder is OK. But in the end, you'll need
the real john-dev mail, not some web based mailing list archive.
