You replied with a multipart MIME message that included both plain text and HTML versions. HTML: if item.startswith(( 'Mon', 'Tue', '<u></u>Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat', 'Sun'))<u></u> Text: item.startswith( ('Mon','Tue','**Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat','Sun'))** I don't know how the <u></u> underline tags got in there. They aren't in the quote in Mark's message. Either way, for the plain text part, your email program substituted "**". Others substituted "__". There'd be no problem if you didn't use rich text in the first place. Email programs always manage to mangle HTML. Besides, it really has no place whatsoever on this forum. I always reply in plain text here. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
