New text vs. formatted output
Plain text interfaces like nntp and email should have a <cr><lf> at the end of every line. Web interfaces will take care of wrapping for you; no matter how wide my real display is, the web browser will format it properly for the width of my display.

Your posts end up as tiny lines down the left hand side of the screen. That's probably what's irking Peter.

New Speaking of irked
Your post is a single line across the right
hand side of my screen. I had to hit the
right scroll 4 times to read it.

Yes, I know, my fault for running a buggy
browser.

Someone should be jumping in here to talk about [link|http://www.mozilla.org/|Mozilla], or [link|http://galeon.sourceforge.net/|Galeon] (which required Gnome and Mozilla), or even [link|http://elinks.or.cz/|ELinks] (a text mode browser that does tables and frames). :-)

KDE seems to be at 3.1.1a. I would suspect that Konqueror has been substantially updated as well. At least I would hope it would have been! A browser that has trouble with word wrapping is fundamentally broken, IMHO.

You might want to take a gander at [link|ftp://ftp.rutgers.edu/pub/kde/stable/latest|ftp://ftp.rutgers.ed...kde/stable/latest] or your favorite local KDE mirror. Even if you don't like updating your systems, there must be a better way for you to participate here than to have to hard-code your returns and scroll your viewing window.

I'd grab a copy of Mozilla if I were you. :-)

Cheers,
Scott.
