I think there must be a wrap_the_post() funcrion somewhere in there that does
the wrapping when you post from your browser.

Mozilla does seem to handle the preview differently from IE. But even though it
puts extra line breaks in the preview box, these don't seem to be "hard" breaks
- posting still only includes the breaks put in there by the interface.
If you then modify the text, it then goes right ahead and stuffs up the breaks
unless you remove them and let it insert them again with the next preview. My
suggestion would be to change the interface so that it doesn't insert the breaks
at all until you hit post. And fix the function so it works 100% of the time!
