This is yet another problem with the Nabble interface to the list. On Wed, Feb 29, 2012 at 6:21 PM, Richard M. Heiberger<rmh at temple.edu> wrote:

On nabble, that variable is in bold. When it's reformatted for the plain-text email list, the formatting is converted to ** surrounding that bit of text. This is not helpful. Please note, this is an argument for NOT using nabble, rather than for converting the list to HTML. The latter would cause many more problems. Another problem with nabble is that there is no context in this post. What error? What reproducible example? What are we trying to solve? With the erroneous formatting codes removed, the function runs, as far as I can tell.
No need to complain about nabble, just filter them out. Look for a "Message-ID" header containing "nabble.com". Duncan Murdoch
