	Since you are new to GoogleGroups, if you can, run away from it as fast
as possible. While material may look okay on their system, it is
practically trashed when getting out into the real world. (Paragraphs
either come in as long lines with no wrapping [Usenet/Email convention is
for 80 character lines, and to allow for > quotes original text should wrap
around 72-75], or they end up double-spacing stuff that comes in following
the 80 character line length (GG is treating hard end-of-line as a
paragraph marker, and on quoting, adding a blank line between these
"paragraphs")

	Either subscribe to the mailing list (and use a real mail client rather
than web-mail) or use a news reader; if your ISP doesn't provide an NNTP
server carrying comp.lang.python, it is available from Gmane as
gmane.comp.python.general (the mailing list and comp.lang.python are cross
linked, and Gmane shows the mailing list as if it were a Usenet news group)

	And just another comment: preference on the group is "trim quoted
material and comment below the quote (or interspersed with the quotes)"...
The style created with M$ Outlook (Outlook goes out of its way to make it
impossible to trim/intersperse -- it considers quoted material as a
photocopy attached to the back of a new letter) in which one comments at
the top of the quoted material, and never trims to relevant material is
frowned upon.
