some (a lot) of the messages on the kitfox List are way to wide for my computer screen. I have to scroll back and forth to read them. It is all but unuseable for me now. Is it me or the senders of the wide messages causing me this agrivation?

I've seen this once or twice lately as well. Can't you drag on the
lower right corner to close up the horizontal size? This coming from a
Mac user.

Web brousers do not have a wrap feature.
When a web page is written in HTML it is written
with the number of pixels of a particular screen
taken into account. The only time you will get a
new line is when it is written into the HTML code.
Because the list converts E-mail into html the only
time yo get a new lline is when the sender presses
the <<Enter>> key
Like this
Ok.
I recommend you open a free browser based E-Mail
account (Google, Hotmail or Yahoo ) and have the
posts sent to that address. When you open them
through the web based E-mail account the wrap feature
will work and you won't have to do as much
Horizontal scroooooooooooooooooooooooooooling.

All web browsers can and do wrap text. You can see this on many web
pages simply by resizing your browser window wider and narrower and
watching how the text reformats. HTML seldom includes hard line
breaks. Why? Because the page designer has no idea how many pixels
are available on a particular screen or window! It is possible to
write HTML this way but most designers avoid it for that very reason.
E-mail programs, on the other hand, are always monkeying with line
breaks. It's most likely that the overly-wide messages are the
result of some interaction between the line breaks inserted (or not)
by the e-mail application used by some of the message authors and the
software used by the Matronics list to generate the corresponding
HTML. These pages are not coded by hand, Matt would have no life at
all if he was trying to keep up with all of our drivel!
