(in both Chrome and Firefox.) > That's because the HTML code produced by Lurker is wrong. E.g. a text around CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE line reads:
<br> INCLUDE(CheckTypeSize) <br> <br><pre class="art"> CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE(dirent.h HAVE_DIRENT_H) It seems that Lurker presents the plain text messages with a proportional text, but when it thinks a piece of text looks like a code, it switches to an unproportional block. And it cannot recognize the end of the patch properly. This is either a bug in ther Lurker, or the e-mail was sent erroneously with a format=flowed MIME attribute. -- Petr
