      The method of lines for a linear parabolic initial-boundary value problem is examined. A semi-discretization in space is done by a mixed finite element method. Then the author considers a fully adaptive time-stepping based on the Euler backward method. Some superconvergence results known for elliptic problems are applied to the semi-discrete scheme to obtain an a posteriori error estimate. Numerical experiments are included.
