[Coco] Was: To Dennis: Message formatting issues with Mailman Archiver

[Salvador Garcia]

Tested with Win 7 and IE11. Post displayed correctly with wrap around text. MS stopped development on IE for Win XP with V8 in an effort to motivate (blackmail?) us into upgrading to either Win 7 or 8x. While a bit off topic, if you have IE with Win XP and go to YouTube you'll get a message indicating that that version of IE is no longer supported, so basically  WinXP + IE = no UTube. 
 
 
As much as I hate to say it, looks like the best solution is to use a browser that is not IE which I understand is easier said than done in your case since you are talking about IE for your mobile device. Salvador

Torsten:

What Windows and IE version are you using? I use Win XP, SP3 with IE 8 which is 
the latest version that will run on  Win XP. Using the Win XP/IE8 I navigated to 
the URL that you posted and got the same result with the single line, no wrap 
around text. I will test with Windows 7 and post back.

This has happened to me in the past for messages that I have sent and received 
(not CoCo list related) and it is annoying. Salvador

Dennis,

thanks for clarifying.

I checked other lists being run on that server and they all have the same 
change on May 14th regarding the format setting.

However, I have overseen a detail: The HTML code generated after the 
change conatins a

<style type="text/css">
       pre {
           white-space: pre-wrap;  /* css-2.1, curent FF, Opera, Safari */
           }
</style>

The "pre-wrap" value for the "white-space" property was indeed introduced 
with CSS 2.1 ("Whitespace is preserved by the browser. Text will wrap when 
necessary, and on line breaks ") and is maybe ignored by my crappy Windows 
Phone Internet Explorer, which might explain why I'm the only one with 
issues. On the other hand, on my desktop PC with a more recent IE (I 
assume that one supports CSS 2.1, the message:

http://five.pairlist.net/pipermail/coco/2014-May/078885.html

is still displayed as a single "tapeworm" text-line, which does not wrap 
according the current window width.

Regards,
Torsten
