	Yeah, comments will never be the whole length of the window.

	The question is just whether or not we should be doing the wrapping
with CSS instead of server-side.

	It would also make comments look different in email than they do on the
web, as I'm pretty sure it's still considered rude to send unwrapped
plain-text email.
