okay, I'm annoyed now. Why is this coming up as one long line in the LUGNET web
interface?

I always just felt too stupid to ask about it, but my misery has gone on too
long, and I've tried altering many variables. So, why is it that whenever I
preview a composed post in any of my browsers, (choosing to post as plain text)
linebreaks get added in the preview, making the message as narrow as possible -
but this happens only like 65 percent of the time? Why is it that when I then
edit anything from that preview, it will -surely- choose to wrap itself in a
knot! It's like this interface has a mind of its own.

I'm tired of wussing out and selecting FTX format, just so I don't post guckie
text. I want plain text! I like to use brackets! I like to use underscores!

(...) Appears as one long line when viewed as a single post in IE6 for me. However while it does the same viewing the whole thread linear, when viewing the whole thread nested (URL) its OK If that provides any clues! Tim (19 years ago, 20-Jul-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
