And then - at least in the case of the IMDb - check that the 'paragraph wrapping' is still as intended; blank lines seem to have a tendency to disappear so that adjoining paragraphs get wrapped into each other... (But I think this is a site bug rather than a NetSurf problem as I remember similar problems when using WebsterXL.) -- Harriet Bazley == Loyaulte me lie == One man tells a falsehood, a hundred repeat it as true.

I always type the message in !Edit or !Zap or some other such local editor and drop the save icon in the window. With a little moan about the need to do this. It is usually not wrapped correctly in the window, but surely the reader at the other send sees a normal full-width window and it is correctly wrapped in that. Michael Bell --
