It's not a stupid question, but it is a stupid Subject field.

That doesn't follow; it just means that character isn't allowed for names. This does have the advantage that, if necessary, it can be used in future (the '@' symbol was recently added to the language, though it didn't have a meaning before). -- \ "The future always arrives too fast, and in the wrong order." | `\ -- Alvin Toffler | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
