Hi All,
A student asks:
Sorry to bother you again but I have another question.  Our 
results of
searching the web in the example you provided in class returns 
a long
string with embedded HTML.  This displays nicely when 
returning it to a
browser but will make no sense when returning it via email.  I 
am not sure
how we should display the results in email.  We could just return 
the
search strings for each search engine as links but that would 
defeat the
purpose of a batch job.  We could return the results in an 
attached HTML
file but I have no idea how to do that.  Is there some hint you 
could
provide?

ANS: Actually, many e-mail programs can handle
HTML formatting, so don't worry about it. We
can make refinements later (after the midterm).
