Larry -
Is there any way of limiting the width or forcing word wrapping on the
left-hand highlight list of .trains? The longer titles that show up there
reduce the actual messages on the right to a narrow little stack. (I'm
using 800x600 at home - even 1024 wide at work isn't great).

It looks like Todd is attempting to set up the page to devote 50% of the
space to the left-hand margin, and 50% to the news digest, but the HTML
table layout, at least under IE 6.0, won't break the long lines, forcing a
minimum width for the left hand size.
Larry, I believe you can fix this by cheating on the link names. You could
explicitly put a return "¬" (ALT-0172 under Windows) in the visible part of
the long link names that don't have spaces or hyphens. It looks like
"http://www.midwestnpioneer.org/timetable/fallenflags/superchief.html" is
the worst offender.

See this thread: http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=37999 (also in
admin.curators) where I was asking about this very problem.
Didn't really get an answer that I completely understood since I don't know
how to do tables in FTX on the front page of a group.
I do not think the "fallen flags" URL is the problem, other URLs on the page
wrap. I think it's the FTX for the hotlist, when there's an article with a
long title it squishes the other stuff.
Nevertheless I narrowed the displayed URL for "fallen flags". Maybe it will
help, I dunno.
