Copying and pasting from the news client may not be sufficient to show what whitespace is actually used. For example, I use KNode, the KDE news client on Linux, and for me, KNode converts tabs to spaces. (If this is configurable, I don't know how.) BUT if I choose the following menu command: View > View Source I see the raw, unmodified message as posted by the OP, complete with tabs and spaces. > READ the error messages, they are important! Indeed. And *believe* the error messages. -- Steven git gets easier once you get the basic idea that branches are homeomorphic endofunctors mapping submanifolds of a Hilbert space. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
