I can look into revising the script to use the mailbox.UnixMailbox class instead. which will work with python 2.4. Note that I run a production CentOS 5 server on which I have installed Python 2.6.5 from source. The default Python on this server is still 2.4.3 as changing the default breaks yum and possibly other things, but I use python2.6 for things I install from source like Mailman, bzr and mod_wsgi. > Update: I noticed that there are so many dependencies on new features of > the mailbox module that it doesn't seem feasible to use Python 2.4.

I will either fix the script to work with Python 2.4 or add a "requires at least Python 2.5" note to it. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
