Thanks for this. Could you post your messages using a channel that doesn't arbitrarily split your paragraphs into long-short-long-short lines? It makes paragraphs burdensome to read, and I skipped most of the message because of that. I encourage anyone whose messages are munged like that to seek correction from their mail service provider, and switch to a different one until it's fixed. -- \ “Oh, I realize it's a penny here and a penny there, but look at | `\ me: I've worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme | _o__) poverty.” —Groucho Marx | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
