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)
