Hi Alex,
I figured the all-in-one-line problem wouldn't be an easy fix. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't my imagination!
We all know how little connection there is between the design world and the real world.
I believe what is happening is that when a long line (pre tag) forces horizontal scrolling, the browser attempts to adjust by ignoring the 95% constraint and uses the left edge. I suppose 95% of the screen width is meaningless when it's already off the screen... Probably the best way to ensure that the left margin always remains, short of splitting the messages into individual tables, is to have a a blank table cell/column over there with a hard coded space or something and a width of about 5 pixels.
