Check the archives of this list for a patch that modifies the archiver
code so that instead of using the <pre> tag it uses the <p> tag (which
wraps the text according to your browsers settings).

It would also have to put in a <br> tag at each end of line.

The Mbox format is a text file.  You can edit/modify it like any text
file (just back it up first!).
