Subject: Re: [LIB] List archive search problem

Another thing I've noticed in the searchable archives is that some posts do 
not include EOL characters.  Thus you have to scroll back and forth to read 
incredibly long sentences that are all on single lines.  Again, Raymond's 
posts show examples of this.

Maike, I notice you're server script just takes each message and formats the 
pertinent section with <PRE></PRE> tags.  If there were no EOL characters 
for sentences in the original post, non get added.  So in MSIE and Netscape, 
and I assume most web browsers, these sentences run way off the right side 
of the screen.

Any relatively easy way to fix that?

Matt
