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

[Salvador Garcia]

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
