The problem is that when the message gets pulled up in the webpages, they will appear as one long line instead of being formatted to the size of the browser width. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Anthony Carter (karem_lore) Date: 2003-07-17 15:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=201573 Found the solution! In the file HyperArch.py in $mailmanhome/Mailman/Archiver search for <PRE> and replace it with <PRE Width=80> (change 80 to whatever you want).

In fact, it makes it worse. However, I have yet to see if it is possible to substitute it with a tag that will dictate the width of the text. Will keep you posted.

The PRE tag says that no formatting should occur as it is preformatted...I wonder what would happen if that PRE disappeared somehow... the text comes from whatever defines %(body)s in the Python code somewhere. This mus also defines the PRE tag as it is not in the template.

Did you get any possible resolution to this? I guess it should not be too difficult to add this functionality (maybe within the mail2html part of the conversion) to add a limit on width (I think there may be a HTML possibility to enforce this). I don't know python, unfortunately, to go trapsing through the mailman code. I'll take a look though...
