Well, Jesus, you are 0 for 2. Sakcee pointed out what the exact problem was in his original message. The HTML he is being given is ill-formed; the <!DOCTYPE directive is not closed. The SGML parser finds a <html> tag which it thinks is inside the <!DOCTYPE, and that's illegal. >> well probabbly I should explain more. this is part of an email . after >> the mta delivers the email, it is stored in a local dir. >> After that the email is being parsed by the parser inside an web based >> imap client at display time. >> >> I dont think I have the choice of rewriting the message!? and I dont >> want to reject the message alltogether. >> >> I can either 1-fix the incoming html by tidying it up >> or 2- strip only plain text out and dispaly that you have spam, 3 - or >> ignore that mal-formatted tag and display the rest If this is happening with more than one message, you could check for it rather easily with a regular expression, or even just ''.find, and then either insert a closing '>' or delete everything up to the <html> before parsing it. -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
