Dan,
I think what is happening is you have your email set to wrap outgoing
text at a specific line length. When you email your text to your blog,
Posterous just accepts that default line length and confines the text to
whatever line length your email is set to.
No matter what size window the Blog is viewed in, the text retains the
same line length.
In a wide window, that results in the text being centered with wide
panes of the background on either side. Narrow the window, and the
background panes get narrower until the window is less than the default
line width.
Then you get a scroll bar across the bottom and you have to slide it
back and forth to see the whole line of text.
Posterous doesn't re-flow the text from the fixed width of your email.
It's not a a "problem", just a description of what it looks like.

Thanks, Sasha.
I use Posterous, which is an easy and simple blog. I just send the
text and attachments by email, and they imput it into their standard
format. Because of this, I don't have a lot of control over the blog
set-up.
A number of others have looked at the blog and commented to me, but
none report the kind of problem you experienced. That puzzles me and
frustrates me.
I am emailing your description of the problem to Posterous, to see
what suggestions they might have.
Thanks again.
Dan.
