Hee hee! Good one and nice try with the header change. Since I never read
advocacy newsgroups I am not going to start here and now. :)

Yes, Pan will allow me to turn off word wrap. I just forgot to before I
posted that. My mental error, not the fault of Pan.

I disagree with your disagree.

Good for us you don't work in the post office.

Yet, Pan is not perfect w.r.t. this. This is Sylpheed, word wrap is
turned on, yet the long url does not break:
