Although I think it's "rude" to break quoted-printable characters in the middle (as seen above), isn't it permitted by the specification to wrap lines to a predetermined length? It's been a while since I looked at the specification, but this is one of the things that implementations have to be able to handle. > Can Python go through a directory of files and replace each instance > of "newline-space" with nothing?

You should file a bug against Kontact: the KDE developers love fixing bugs, especially in their old work. ;-) Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
