No, I saved the code as email.py... BUT... you hit the nail on the head
with the file name suggestion. The error disappears if I rename to
something like abcdef.py. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that smtplib
references a module called email.py, huh? <grin>

Thanks! I knew it had to be something obvious and easy. :)
