Yes, I can understand how a link will preclude wrapping.  There seem to be other
messages in this thread indicating that a long link will CAUSE wrapping.  I can't
"wrap" my head around that one.

Not that I feel the need to explain, but I frequently scroll a page very large
(should I say very, very large?) and then ratchet back until the text is just
visible on one line for a majority of the page.  It is the outliers that are the
problem.  If they wrap, great, I have learned to adjust.  If they don't wrap, I
must, MUST, ratchet back until the longest line is just visible and, frankly,
that just isn't big enough for me to relax in my recliner.  Oh, wait!  Was I
supposed to admit that?
