Which can be a double edged sword. With a hard-wrapped message, if I don't have the resolution to display a full line, I have to scroll left-to-right. With a flowed message, it will wrap to my window size. However, when I have too much resolution, it will still wrap to the window size, make the message hard to read. It would be nice if the display algorithm wrapped to the window size or the user's specified number of columns, whichever is smaller. > This is a dream come true that can never come true in web design, > for example.

There have been many times I have used Opera's display override function. Personally, I don't like reading yellow text on a white background... :-) I'll summarize my diatribe about the web: it's not a print media, so fixed positioning doesn't make any sense. Stuff flows. Deal with it! Don't design you pages like brochures (because they're not). -- Chris Quoting when replying to this message is good for you and me.
