And, as I forgot to mention, the text size is also too small (for me) to be
comfortably scanned on the compact listings (and presumably on the others, as
well)

OO! OO! Tried it. Liked it. No further testing necessary. Now, if only I
could get straight there from /traffic/.... ;-)

Ok, having paid more attention this time, it doesn't seem to be fixed at half.
Rather, the width seems to be determined arbitrarily, and I'm not sure by
what. None of the messages I've read to date have been wider than 1/2 my
screen, but several have been smaller, to about a minimum of 1/3 width.
I'm not sure what's going on. Perhaps the web interface wraps the message box
at whatever width it comes in at? That would put messages that came in via the
web about 1/2 width. <shrug> I dunno.
