Yes, but it's only 2 level how about couple more level that would cover ~ 80% :-)

Not to mention that:
- it would destroy indentation as it did before, unless you
explicitly convert leading spaces, multiple spaces and tabs to
&nbsp;

- it would create a mess of line breaks in strange places for some of us, who may be using lower-resolution displays or a large font.

But a good course of action, at least IMO, would be handle format=flowed messages by setting word wrap and using explicit <br> for the hard line breaks.

BTW I noticed a bug - it fails to replace & with &amp;.  As well as being just one cause of the many validation errors, it's bound to alter what some people wrote, including here.

What would be the point of using <pre> at all if you're just going to cancel out its semantics with CSS?

I did it a simpler way - I just put the line wrapping in the converter program.
