Description

[Bob Lord]

Sometimes when I'm reading news, a message will not show up correctly.  It will
show up as a compressed mess.  Here's an example:

Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6700 Hi, I wonder if there is any ways allowing
Mozilla, Netscape and IE to use the same digital certificate store. Mozilla and
Netscape 6 are essential the same. According to my observation Mozilla and
Netscape 6 use a Berkeley db to store the digital certificates. However
Microsoft tends to use its own mechanism to store the digital certificates. I
found that there're indeed more than one stores, "MY", "CA", "ROOT", and
"AddressBook", in Windows. I think if we can find a unified store to store the
digital certificates, we don't need to import the same digital certificate twice
when we have more than one browser on our computer. Angus Lee

There's no formatting, just all the text compressed into a single line. 

The work around is to click on another message, and then to click back to the
message in question.  That workaround does not always work the first time. 
Sometimes it takes another round before it is fixed.

I've seen this too. May be a backend thing, so cc'ing relevant people.
