As the rejection message said, "If you want to show the mailing list 
what you are seeing then simply cut-n-paste the *text* of your message 
to the mailing list". Please, never send images to a list.

Sometimes reading a bad sector from a failing drive can hang 
indefinitely. You may try the -i option to skip it, but ddrescue already 
saved 99.99997% of your data (three times because you didn't use a 
logfile). Maybe this is all the data that can be rescued from that drive.
