Actually, I was thinking of requesting a feature that made MHonArc reformat

*do* handle word-wrapping.
Not in mhonarc, since mhonarc will put the text in <PRE> tag, that is, no
formatting will be done by the browser, so there will be no wrapping
occure.
I stand corrected -- even current browser versions honor the <PRE> by
making long-lined messages scroll left and right, which is awful.
What we need is a facility to make it possible to insert <P> tag between
paragraph in the text, and then remove that <PRE> tag. That will be what
you two (and I) want.
That'll work for most body text, but there are some things it'll fail
miserably on, and you provided us with a perfect example:

There is no foolproof way to convert RFC822 plaintext into something with
paragraph formatting. However, I would like the option of converting it in
simple ways, even if a signature like this will turn into junk. But, I
don't want it enough to make a big deal about it :)
