If you're getting this via the mailing list, just hit Reply, and then change the To: address to python-list@python.org - that's the simplest (assuming you don't have a Reply To List feature, but you wouldn't be saying the above if you had one). That way, you get a citation line, quoted text is marked, and it's taken a minimum of effort. > Thanks, I like itertools but had no idea imap.

It has heaps of improvements, and it has a future. :) ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
