Since that's not the way it arrived here, i have to ask, how do you get
these posts?  Are you subscribed to individual messages by email via
python.org?  or are you using google-groups or some other indirection?

In any reasonable mail program, you can see the source of a message. 
Most of the troubles i've seen here have been caused by people trying to
send html mail to a text-based mailing list.  But in the case you quote,
the original message came here as text/plain, and well formatted.
