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) -- DaveA
