I am assuming that your mail client or something else between you and
us has borked the indentation.

If so, I think your problem lies outside the code you posted. If I run
that code, properly indented and preceded by

  linklisttype = ['http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Temp/Ariadne-RAE.doc']

then I get identical output from the two.
