Rafael and I are both using gmail (assuming he's not POPing to gmail), and the gmail-wrapping of both my first message and his reply are totally broken in my reply. The above quote is 73 characters, and this text-area is 63 characters wide; that might have something to do with it. My short term solution to gmail is to tell Firefox to use a fixed-width font everywhere. Thanks for the CSS tips, that'll look much better than Lucida Console everywhere. -- Chris Cantrall chris.cantrall@xxxxx.xxxThere's stuff above here
