So, it was google groups that continuously corrupted the good UTF-8 posts by force converting them to ISO-8859-1? Of course, there's also the possibility that it is a problem on *your* side so, to be fair I've launched google groups and looked for this thread. And of course the result was that Steven's post displayed perfectly. I didn't try to reply to it of course, no need to clutter that thread anymore than it is. -- Δ(µ*π) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
