[RP TownTalk] [RP ComTalk] TownTalk Display of messages

[David Hiles]

the display problem also exists when i look at the archived list in 
firefox 1.5

another manifestation is some messages come across with 3-5 words per 
row. recent examples include messages from ron oppenheim, ken laureys 
and audrey bragg.
