Not really. Email headers support duplicates, although the dict-syntax will only return the first such header. Alternative syntax like .get_all() gives you all of them. But anyway, don't let this stop you! I like your robots-in-disguise[1] dicts no matter what you call them, and even if email can't use them. -Barry [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59QeKkjishs _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
