Hi,

a) uuencode you notebooks. The most mailer cut the line length and
   the result are syntax errors because mailer don't insert \
   as line continuations.
b) that ist not a bug -- it is a feature. Since Mathematica use space
characters
   as Times[] operator it is not clear if
   a=b q=c   mean a=(b*(q=c))  or it it mean 

   a=b
   q=c
c) simply use the rule one input-cell for one output 
d) use CompoundExpressions[] like a=b;q=c if you mean this

Regards
  Jens
