Hello again,

Well the basic trouble is that the yield statement you see there
causes it to print the list over and over again when a string
containing "msgid" is found and the subsequent conditions are
satisfied. I just want the last list the yield statement generates. I
don't want the last element of the list generated. just the last
statement.
