In the mean time, you can extract email-2.5.x from our official distribution and install into <prefix>/pythonlib directory. Or, you can edit cron/senddigests to use python2.3 as was suggested earlier. Cheers, -- Tokio Kikuchi, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://weather.is.kochi-u.ac.jp/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I guess the first sentence in Tokio's reply should read "... debian people have omitted the email-2.5.x package ...".
