=== Lurk-Mode OFF === I created a minor civil war on the Mozilla list when I proposed that text NOT be flowed at all; that it's the responsibility of the viewing application to format messages to the user's specification; that formatting should NOT be coded within messages. Flowing and rewrapping doesn't work right in any email program I've ever seen. (But as you see, I'm wrapping text, so you can infer who won the civil war ...Hahahahahahahahaha. Or rather, who lost it.)
