Yes. Those are the problems. Are you suggesting this as a way to post via GG without it being a nuisance, or to read news without seeing those problems? If the former, it is surely far FAR easier to just read and write mail on python-list, or use Thunderbird, or somesuch, than to go through these hoops just to be able to keep using buggy software. People won't do it. And if the latter, well, that's my point about it solving things only for you. In fact, either way, it solves things only for you. The problem is that there are a huge number of users who are not you. ChrisA
