And that's about where I stopped reading. I'm sorry Steve, but you're writing to a programmer's forum here, and you should be sending in plain text, not so-called "rich text" (actually HTML code, as you can see). At the very least, if you absolutely must send HTML code, you should instruct your mail program to also send plain text. People are reading this via Usenet and email and possibly using other ways as well. Depending on how they are receiving your post, sending HTML may be considered rude and a breach of etiquette (e.g. text-based news groups typically ban binary attachments, including HTML), or their client may not support HTML, or they may simply choose not to receive or read such posts. (Pure HTML is one of the most reliable signs of spam email.) So I'm afraid that I have no idea what you were trying to say in your post. Manually deciphering the message from the markup was too painful. I'm not likely to be the only one. If you would care to try again using plain text, you may get a better response rate. -- Steven D'Aprano http://import-that.dreamwidth.org/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
