[pct-l] wordwrap problem viewing list messages: a nice solution!--revised

[Tortoise]

You have found a work-around for viewing long non-wrapped lines in IE 
and perhaps other browsers. However the problem remains.

I copied the offending message with a too-long line into NeoOffice (word 
processor)  and it showed that the too long lines did not have a 
hard-return or any other code to start a new line when the line exceeded 
a normal length. I suspect the offending lines may have some code I 
cannot see which prevents it from being wrapped.

I looked at a message I sent. My retained copy had long lines which 
displayed in my word processor as too long. However when the message 
came back to me from the list, the lines were wrapped. Maybe by my email 
program; maybe by the list-serv software, or who knows.

Since I read my email in Thunderbird the .css work-around doesn't work 
for me.
