Hi David;

The wrapping seems a bit fragile. Some of the lines are wrapped to the
left column and others line up with the headers. To reproduce, try
id:87wpgjxeia.fsf at nikula.org at about 40 columns. It looks like two
different kinds of wrapping going on.

About aligning the headers I'm not sure how I feel yet.  I probably need
to use it a bit to give an informed opinion.  I agree it makes the
individual headers easier to pick out, but I have some kind of knee jerk
reaction to using up space that way. That might be my 1980s VT52
instincts kicking in uselessly though.
