For those who think the problem may be with the recipient's software, I see the same annoying line-wrapping problems in the archived message <URL:http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2010-September/1255167.html>. There's been enough sidetracking of Raymond's thread, though, so that factual contribution will hopefully be my last in this thread on this issue. -- \ “Choose mnemonic identifiers.
