from memory, here are some of the issues with overflow:auto

- specify padding-bottom:0.5em;

  otherwise a certain browser will obscure the last line when
  it inserts a horizontal scroll bar

- watch out for width:xx%;

  some browsers (can't remember which) are ok with a width in
  px but not a % width

But any kind of overflow is better than long preformatted text lines.

An example css statement is:

pre.preformatted { width:650px; overflow:auto; padding-bottom:0.5em; }
