Hi Russ,

I want to extract some statistics on keyword combination usage from the OEIS
database.  I am not sure of the best way forward.

Best regards,

Chris gribble

You are both right.  The content *is* duplicated in the mail that the lookup
server sees, but mail programs are supposed to see the text-and-html as
either-or, not and.
The lookup server's mail processing is fairly primitive.

I'm just curious: why not use the web search, which has better response
times anyway?

If you want text output you can insert fmt=text& in the URL:
http://oeis.org/search?fmt=text&q=1,2,3,6,11,23,47
