Related issue merged in from #78:

All plain text files which use spaces to format itself to look like a table
will be almost unreadable because of the auto Word-Wrap. Especially
walk-through from GameFAQs.

No one types plain text in 1 whole long string. There is no need to force
Word Wrap it. Please make an option in Settings to Enable or Disable Word-Wrap.

This is improved in r425.  Pre tags still wrap badly (they don't break on work
boundaries), but they do wrap so long as nothing else in the HTML has a width 
which
pushes the layout out wider than the screen.  Numerous changes have been made 
to the
HTML fixing routines which should reduce the chance of any objects being 
allowed to
retain a too-wide width.
