IRC is for real-time conversations, and pasting many lines of code there
makes it hard to converse.  A channel can be very crowded even without
pasting code snippets, so it’s best to keep excess text to a minimum.  I
guess that’s why it’s customary on IRC to paste code elsewhere and just
link to it.

For mails it’s fine (and desirable) to include code snippets inline or
as attachments.
