[Coco] again: messed pipermail archive on my smartphone

All, Dennis,
I had a closer look and figured out that even wrapped text (including
CR/LF characters) will be displayed in an unreadable small fontsize on my
smart phone (however, the non-wrapping endless long text lines are an
issue on my desktop computer too, see:
http://five.pairlist.net/pipermail/coco/2014-May/078885.html
).
I noticed that something changed between:
Sat May 17 11:16:13 EDT 2014
http://five.pairlist.net/pipermail/coco/2014-May/078883.html
and
Sat May 17 14:06:27 EDT 2014
http://five.pairlist.net/pipermail/coco/2014-May/078884.html
Looking at the HTML source, it looks ALMOST the same, BUT what has changed
is the way the actual message is shown.
This still worked:
<!--beginarticle-->
On Sat, 17 May 2014 09:48:49 -0400
<BR> Bla
<BR> Bla bla bla.
<BR> Bla
<!--endarticle-->
This doesn't work any longer:
<!--beginarticle-->
<PRE>Bla
Bla bla bla
Bla</PRE>
<!--endarticle-->
So the issue seems to be the <PRE> tag.
But even if the font size would be bigger on my phone, I would still have
the issue with the long lines - if the text doesn't contain CR/LF
whitespace it is the idea of the <PRE> tag not to wrap (it is normally
used for source code on webpages to explicitely avoid then unintended
wrapping or removing whitespace like tabs to ident the code).
Regards,
Torsten
