Comment (by rhaas):

 The archive pages use {{{<PRE>}}} tags for the actual email. Some CSS can
 be used to wrap the line.

 I tried this with (a local copy of) Ian's email adding
 {{{
    <style type="text/css">
     pre {
     white-space: pre-wrap; /* css-3 */
     white-space: -moz-pre-wrap !important; /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
     white-space: -pre-wrap; /* Opera 4-6 */
     white-space: -o-pre-wrap; /* Opera 7 */
     word-wrap: break-word; /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */
     }
    </style>
 }}}
 to it's {{{<head>}}} section and it works fine with Firefox 3.6.24 on
 Linux.

 I have no idea how to include css styles in mailman/pipermails web pages
 though.
