After all, *I* don’t have a problem with the status quo. So, do you want to buy me a software license to solve *your* problem? :) > Here is an example of what your posts tend to look like to me on those rare occasions when I bother to expand Chrome to full-screen to read them: http://maxrnd.com/~mark/Warren.png I don't see all of your text. I'd like to be able to read it without having to go full-screen or scroll left-right or use some other reader. This is Chrome reading the Cygwin mail archives; can't get much more vanilla than that. Chrome doesn't seem to have an option to wrap. Of course it's your choice. But if nobody said anything about it you wouldn't be aware that some folks can't read your usually thoughtful and detailed posts. Respectfully, ..mark
