I can't find any HTML in what I posted, so HTML is not the problem. A difference could be the content type. I had in my posting: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed Another one titled "Pipelining in Python", where TB doesn't mess up the formatting, has: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Searching the web turned up [1], the gist is that "format=flowed" means that your mailer is allowed to move linebreaks and quotation signs ("> ") as it wants. Which is not what I meant. Some more search turned up [2], which tells us how to disable this. Go to the settings, advanced section and find the button that fires up the raw configuration editor. There, locate the key mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed and change the according value to false. # Checking... if this.worked: hurray("I didn't even have to close the message in writing") Uli [1] http://joeclark.org/ffaq.html [2] http://www.firstpr.com.au/web-mail/Mozilla-mail/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
