In a node, when code such as the following is >70 columns in length...

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
print "-10--------20--------30--------40--------50--------60--------70
+--------80--------90";
[download]

MSIE will not wrap the text (uh... someone in Marketing told me this), but Netscape will wrap the text, putting a red "+" at the beginning of the line of continued text. Here's an attempt at simulating this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
print "-10--------20--------30--------40--------50--------60--------70
+--------80--------90";

I'm guessing that this site uses the "Everything" package by vroom, but I wasn't able to find the wrapping function in the Everything-0.8.3 code.

Questions:
1. How is the text wrapped?
2. Why does it only work in Netscape?
