Right.

You're not entirely right here.  Santosh's message threads correctly to 
mine when I look with Thunderbird. And mine is parallel to one by Peter 
Otten, who suggested rstrip() to get rid of the extra newline.  About 
10% of your posts show up as top-level (starting new threads), even 
though I know you're careful.  So there seem to be more than one 
threading protocol, and the multiple protocols are fighting each other. 
  I'd love to see a spec that I could use to (manually?) check whether 
the threads are right or not.

the relevant timestamps (at least as seen from USA EST zone) are
     Santosh at 4:20 am
        Peter Otten at 4:46 am
        DaveA  at 5:34 am
           Santosh at 9:56 am
     Steven D'Aprano at 7:49 pm

But your message was a reply to Santosh's 9:56 am message.

(I'm deleting the rest, because I'm not responding to the commandline 
parsing question)
