[Now that the disk problems have been recovered from, hopefully, resending this] Please see referenced links to messages using standard "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed", and preceding messages in these threads. Could you please consider adding "white-space: pre-wrap;" or equivalent in to the style string in the email body HTML <pre style="..."> tags or mailing list CSS, perhaps only when email has Content-type: ...format=flowed..., to ensure that white space is preserved but long lines are wrapped in the window, to allow reading without long horizontal scrolls, which make posts hard to read. This may also assist mobile users read without zooming and scrolling or trying to read tiny fonts. -- Take care.
