Nice.

And, while you're at it, fix the thing mentioned in that post :)

I usually don't use the webb interface so I can't compare but.

The last post is not linewrapped in konqueror causing side scrolling.

The formatter doesn't wrap the lines, as it is usually preformatted.

I'd still suggest making the text inside the <pre> blocks wrappable. You can do
this either by using ordinary <div>s instead of <pre>s for the PostingBody, or
adding the following CSS attribute to the PostingBody class in /d/style.css:

   white-space: normal;

This will make user-agents rewrap text, eliminating horizontal scroll bars.

I tried it, but it wraps code, too, goofing it all up.

Not to mention that:
- it would destroy indentation as it did before, unless you 
explicitly convert leading spaces, multiple spaces and tabs to 
&nbsp;

- it would create a mess of line breaks in strange places for 
some of us, who may be using lower-resolution displays or a 
large font.

But a good course of action, at least IMO, would be handle 
format=flowed messages by setting word wrap and using explicit 
<br> for the hard line breaks.

BTW I noticed a bug - it fails to replace & with &amp;.  As well 
as being just one cause of the many validation errors, it's 
bound to alter what some people wrote, including here.

I did it a simpler way - I just put the line wrapping in the converter 
program.

What would be the point of using <pre> at all if you're just 
going to cancel out its semantics with CSS?

Would be nicer if the quote text is in different color or gray out.

It is in a slightly different color. I think greying it out would make 
it harder to read.

If you look closely, you'll see that each nested quote has a slightly 
smaller font <g>.

Yes, but it's only 2 level how about couple more level that would cover 
~ 80% :-)

The key word there is "usually", however there is still an awful lot of
text that is not meant to be preformatted and is expected to be flowed. In
general, I suspect you will happier readers if you flow the text rather
than keep it the way it is.
