No, I definitely did not resize the window (I use ratpoison as my window
manager and all windows are full screen all the time).  I'll play around
some more to see if the behaviour is different for specific HTML
examples.  It's not a big deal, in any case, as (a) I don't get many
HTML messages and (b) I can easily truncate-lines when I do...

I must say that having changed the table border characters (vertical,
horizontal and corners) all to spaces, the result is actually quite
pleasing (in a "if I have to read such emails, at least they should look
good" kind of way).  Interestingly, the customise interface does not
allow specifying a space as the character to use, but that's another
story ;-)

Thanks,
eric
