Patch to force warpping of text of a mailing list message

As of now some of the messages in "archive" (the mailing list "archive" available via a web browser) produce too long of a horizontal scroll bar in Firefox on Windows & in Firefox on iOS.

An example of such a message is ...

... I have added a CSS patch to force text wrap for such messages; patch was created by downloading the CSS from the website.

Thank you it has been added to the CSS (the time to propapagte to the mirrors!), note that this is going away when we will have switched to the new archivers which creates responsives output:

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-announce/ for an example.

We are slowly switching our archives to it.
