Avoding too wide message text in KOM 2000

This example show how you can use Style Sheets to avoid too wide paragraphs in KOM 2000 message texts.

Do the following:

1. Inser the following text in the style sheet in the web page head:

   .message {
   background-color : #FFFFCC;
   width : 60ex;
   margin-left : 1em;

2. Put, immediately before the start of the message text part of the page, the following HTML statement:

   <DIV class=message>

3. Replace the <BR> after the end of the message text, with

   </DIV>

Note 1: Fixed width text, such as plain text e-mail messages, should not use this feature, they should be rendered using the <TT> HTML tag instead. Do not use the <PRE> tag, since some e-mail messages have one single line for a whole paragraph, and they will not be readable if rendered using <PRE>.
