SSCCE starts with "Short". The HTML you unloaded into that email
hardly qualifies.

When you're trying to figure out a problem that appears to happen only
when you have X and not when you have Y, see what the smallest example
data for X and Y are that continue to exhibit the difference. It's way
easier, especially on those of us who might have been interested in
helping, had it been possible to paste your failing code into IDLE.
Plus, in cutting it down you might discover what the real cause of the
problem is.

Of course, sometimes you fail to cut something down as expected. In
this example, HTML didn't turn out to be the problem, so cutting it
down to "<html></html>" wouldn't have worked. But do at least _try_,
and then mention what worked and didn't work in your question.
