The above mess is included to demonstrate how broken gmail is
internally.  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.
