It's fine like that. It stops auto-wrap if I make the window narrower than bout 550 
pixels, but that's not a problem because I rarely want a browser window as narrow as 
that, and I don't suppose anyone else does.

I'm not convinced of the usefulness of posting in HTML, however. It would be OK if it 
were intentionally introduced HTML to cover a genuine need, but when it means HTML 
generated automatically by Word or Outlook Express and has about two characters of 
garbage for each character of message, then it's another matter. As I have an ethernet 
connection it isn't a major problem for me, but it must be a problem for people with slow 
connections if each page takes three times as long to arrive as it needs.
