Why? Why? Why?

sorry, no clue about opera or how it deals with text areas in HTML.

Also, does anyone know how to set FUT in Pine?

if you mean posting by email, just set the "reply-to" field to
"lugnet.some.group@lugnet.com" and the server will translate it
to a FUT header.  If you're browsing NNTP via pine (why?!?), I'm
not sure - but I think there used to be a ctrl-h command to show
more headers, and that you could configure which headers it would
show.  Of course, all my pine knowledge is very old - real men use
mutt :)
