a) Learn to live with it ;-) b) Upgrade to 2.4 (if getmail4 will run with it) c) Check to see if Python has a startup option for suppressing warnings As to c) python -h gives a list indicating what I thought, that -W controls warnings, but gives insufficient info for me to use it, and I didn't find any more in the docs. I hope someone else chimes in. Terry J. Reedy Terry J. Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
