when I'm replying to another post. Messages still post OK, but the preview
layout is totally different than what eventually gets posted.

I guess this is a browser issue, as IE still seems to display it correctly. So I
dunno how easy it is to look into.

Ross, I'm seeing the same thing with Mozilla 1.7.3 on Mac OS-X. I used to see
this intermittently on Moz 1.4, but now it seems to happen all the time (at
least I think its all the time, certainly on replies).

Ok, Now previewing the reply I just typed. The Message Preview and the block of
boilerplate under that uses the full width of the window. But the gray-shaded
'preview' of what will be posted is only using about 2/3 of the window width
(which is causing superfluous line-wraps).
