What's your test environment? I suspect you are feeding the output
into a HTML browser, DON'T IF IT'S NOT ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, and if so
enclose it in <pre> ... </pre>.

Probably you mean `<' `>' in HTML

Reuse existing code! Have a look at the rfc822 and related modules,
for CGI look at the quite well documented CGI module. Study example
code and get (and study) a good book about Python programming,
cf. http://www.python.org/psa/bookstore/
On an aside: I just had to look into Delphi code for a Win32 project,
nice looking IDE, but it lacks MI <gr>. For RAD I still prefer
python w/ Tkinter and Pmw.
