I think that Andrei means the email you are sending to the list is HTML
as opposed to plain text.  Many email programs do not display HTML
format email.  This is usually desirable as this is one of the easiest
ways to spread viri by email (as you can config the HTML pages to
autorun the "bad" scripts).  It is hard to switch off the display of
HTML email in MSOutlook but Russ Cooper of NTBugtraq has released a
patch to do this, very sad MS don't have this as a standard option.
 
<g> completely unpython related response but hope it fills in a blank
bit!

Cheers

David

Thanks for your response Andrei,

                                                I'm not sure I
understand your response! I'm not using HTML files, I'm working on a
UNIX machine. The file I'm reading from is a plain text file.

 

Hello, 

Many e-mail programs can't edit HTML directly. If you want to get 
maximum response, send plain text messages.
