When I tried this last Friday I got the archives all right, in a middle
column with fixed width. Since I was at a satellite location with IE 5.0,
and VGA--that's right, 640x480--the middle column was _way_ too thin. There
was a scroll bar to let me shift back and forth--at the bottom of the
message, so it was usually a screen below where I was trying to read.

On the other hand, it does look good today with IE 5.5 and 1280x1024.
