   It worked fine for me, in the sense that regardless of the size of the   
   Thunderbird window used to view the message, everything after each FF   
   was just beyond view until I scrolled down.  When replying to the   
   message, Thunderbird compacts it all.   
      
   What happens in your newsreader?  You also have Thunderbird, albeit a   
   slightly newer version than mine.   
      
      
   But for Ben's newsreader to be happy, it seems the FF needs to be at the   
   start of a line.
