While cleaning out old messages I ran across this solution to the wordwrap 
problem that was discussed a week or so ago.

[I'm terribly sorry, I forgot to include the actual text to be cut and
pasted in my previous message. Here is the message the way it should have
gone out.]

Hi,

After googling for a while, I think I've found the right solution. Actually,
the computer geeks are correct when they say that this problem should be
blamed not on the server, but the viewer (in my case, internet explorer).
Here is a short .css code which will correct the problem--that is, force
wordwrap on very long paragraphs--and cause, as far as I can tell, no other
side effects to your internet surfing experience.

Cut and paste the text at the bottom of this message, save it in a plain
text notepad file, name it something like "wordwrap.css". Save this file
somewhere safe, like "my documents"
Then go into your internet explorer Tools-->Internet
Options-->Accessibility, and click "format documents using my style sheet,"
and specify the "wordwrap.css" file you just created.

This was just what I was looking for. I hope it works for others.

BTW, I found it here:
