Thanks for this response. I also realised this myself after a while. Actually I didn't see your message until I posted my own followup reply because gmail had moved it into spam. Apparently it doesn't like the headers in your email for some reason: "Gmail could not verify that it actually came from gmail.com. Avoid clicking links, downloading attachments or replying with personal information." Oscar -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
