Sure, but if you really wanted to use something like codepad so that the code is accessible from elsewhere, Github gists are one way of doing it. And again, you don't have to know or use git to use the gist functionality.
You also get versions for free when using gists so that you can look at the evolution of the code snippet over time.
Where-as if you post it with the email directly, you get the advantages of both lifetime and searchability. Searchability is a *HUGE* thing with archives, putting code through links kills that.
Of course, but what if you wanted to post something like a 200+ line sample without breaking indentation and without syntax highlighting? Then email breaks down.
A 200+ line is not the norm. In such a case, I don't like seeing it in codepad anyway. I'd prefer real cpp/hpp files as attachments or better yet, SVN.
