Yeah, Hrm is right.  I gotta stop this cowboy coding between packing boxes. My
subroutine which specially wraps news articles and ignores splitting up quoted
lines worked great in its unit test under the shell, but I forgot that inside of the CGI script the > character comes in as &gt; so it didn't see the line as beginning with >.  In other words, I forgot to call the HTML<->ASCII conversion functions before & after wrapping.  Doy doh doy.  This was also causing the columns to be split at funny places and not always at 79.

All right, play time's over for me... back to work.
