No, you fundamentally cannot edit posts. This is a Usenet newsgroup and a mailing list; once your post is sent, it gets carried by lots of different servers separately. Just send a followup, same as you did there. Since you seem to be using Google Groups, please read this to learn how to avoid antagonizing a significant proportion of the list's best responders: http://wiki.python.org/moin/GoogleGroupsPython ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
