I see a carriage return rendered as ^M at the end of every line from Prasad's messages. Other than that, they are well-formatted plain text for me, too. I guess Prasad's system sends \r\n instead of \n\r (the DOS line-end) and \r\n gets interpreted as a stray \r followed by end-of-line. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
