When I view ASCII text Web pages that have no explicit line breaks in
the SeaMonkey browser, the pages are displayed without wrapping. Is
there a way to get wrapping?
An example is at<http://rossde.com/test/Wrap_test.txt>, which my
service's Web server delivers as text/plain.
Apparently, this is NOT a new problem. I see the same results with SM
2.0.14 and SM 2.1.
I use (since SeaMonkey 1.*) the very handy Toggle Word Wrap extension:

I tried Toggle Word Wrap. It is exactly what I need. Thanks.
I also did some research in the HTML specifications at the W3C site,
both HTML 4.01 and the current draft for HTML 5. Neither of them
mention how a browser should handle plain ASCII text. Of course, both
specifications are about HTML while a page of plain ASCII text is not
HTML. The descriptions of the<pre> element in both specifications say
nothing about wrapping; since the<pre> element is used when text is
preformatted (e.g., with spaces, indentations, columns), wrapping is
likely unwanted at least as a default.
I think plain text does not wrap but must have end-of-line imbedded.
