Some public email archives wrap plain-text email in <pre> tags, but  
that causes problems with unwrapped messages.  I see a lot less of  
that these days, but what seems to be commonplace now is the removal  
of all indentation, making inline patches very difficult too grok.    
What's the solution?  I know some people who run an otherwise nice  
archive that I'd like to send a suggestion to.
