what is the best way to handle this kind of document. should I use
regex to check and strip, or does HTMLParser offers something? , can i
override default sgmllib behaviour
I have to work with this htmllib because of existing modules .

Try checking your html code. It looks really messy. ' char is not for
multiple line strings. You can try the code above.
As a suggestion, you should really focus on learning html basics ;)

thanks for the reply
well probabbly I should explain more. this is part of an email . after
the mta delivers the email, it is stored in a local dir.
After that the email is being parsed by the parser inside an web based
imap client at display time.
I dont think I have the choice of rewriting the message!? and I dont
want to reject the message alltogether.
I can either 1-fix the incoming html by tidying it up
or 2- strip only plain text out and dispaly that you have spam, 3 - or
ignore that mal-formatted tag and display the rest

hmmm, that's kind of different issue then.
I can guess, from the error you pasted earlier, that the problem shown
is due to the fact Python is interpreting a "<" as an expression and not
as a char. review your code or try to figure out the exact input you're
receving within the mta.

Well, Jesus, you are 0 for 2. Sakcee pointed out what the exact problem
was in his original message. The HTML he is being given is ill-formed; the
<!DOCTYPE directive is not closed. The SGML parser finds a <html> tag
which it thinks is inside the <!DOCTYPE, and that's illegal. well probabbly I should explain more. this is part of an email . after

If this is happening with more than one message, you could check for it
rather easily with a regular expression, or even just ''.find, and then
either insert a closing '>' or delete everything up to the <html> before
parsing it.

thanks for the suggestions,
this is not happening frequently, actually this is the first time I
have seen this exception in the system, which means that some spam
message was generated with ill-formated html.
i guess the best way would be to check using regular expression and
delete the unclosed tags.
Oopss!
You are totally right guys, i did miss the closing '>' thinking about
maybe errors in the use of ' or ".
