[thelist] mysterious disappearing text

[Mark Kennedy]

Hi there,

I took a quick peek at your page, and even though you've fixed your initial
problem, I thought I'd draw something else to your attention:

P { ... ; font-family: 'Trebuchet 
MS', 'Lucida Grande', ....

On Win IE6, the type is appearing as Lucida Grande and not Trebuchet MS, and I
can only imagine that this is because of the line break between Trebuchet and
MS.  I made a copy of that page, deleted the line break, and the page rendered
in the correct typeface.
