I found something. Don't know what to do with it. GG appears to be inserting <br>

html-blob{white-space:pre-wrap;}

Ok, last one I promise. Is it possible to force the html-blob to use a fixed width font
or tty font?

Why go through all this trouble? isn't there a traditional newsreader you
could use instead of google groups?

I use this in uBlock Origin (paste it into the My filters tab)

groups.google.com##html-blob:style(white-space: pre!important; font-family: monospace)
groups.google.com##html-blob > br:style(display: none!important)

Tavis.

Well, yeah. I have gnus installed and set up. But somehow I can't get used to it.
I got used to the web interface back when it was DejaNews and just grumbled and adapted as they've slowly crippled and shackled it. Maybe there's another that'd suit me better. I keep hearing Thunderbird thunderbird thunderbird from
everybody. But, you know ... inertia.

That is to say, you're absolutely right. 100%. But I'm not gonna do it.

Yup. In the end its s straight cost benefit exercise - learning the
bloated feature ridden crap that is thunderbird, *or* fixing up the
interface on the web site.

Every time Thunderbird does a major upgrade I need to spend a day or two researching the web trying to turn it back to how it used to look and feel.

"We don't fix bugs, we add new features"

It's called the 'Poettering Maxim'.

Also, it is correctly transcribed and pronounced {Qapla'} (with emphasis on
the last syllable; Klingon for “success”, “victory”), not ”qapplaH”.

{qap} means “insist” instead, in Klingon transcription there is no doubling of consonants (e.g. “Kahless” is just {qeylIS}), and the verb modifier {-laH} means “be able to”.

So, transcription errors aside, they said “(I am) able to insist” instead, which will cause a Klingon to laugh at them (and then kill them for showing weakness).
