Wrapping?  No!
Avoiding it is the whole point of <pre>.

It does trigger a horizontal scroll bar, but
for the whole page.

I have now added a "overflow: auto" for <pre> in
the style sheet.  My Gecko-based browsers have
no problem picking up on it thus triggering a
per-<pre> scrollbar when needed, but my older
Konqueror doesn't (not with "auto" nor with
"scroll").

Can you tell me if your more recent Konqueror
is more standard-compliant than mine?  Also,
is Opera (which I don't have)?

Indeed, this has nothing to do with SGML or HTML
being broken.  It has to do with design.

As long as you can somehow view the content
(i.e., the page at least loads), then this
discussion becomes more irrelevant, as all this
will have to be retrofitted at some point to
match the design used for fetchmail's FAQ anyway.

Feedback on the actual content is more relevant
for now and would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
