No, Netscape has no problem with line-endings (that would be really bad,
wouldn't it ;-)    I explained the problem in my reply to Christoph.  The
following will work just fine:

pre {
  font-family: "Lucida Console","Lucida Sans Typewriter","Courier
New","monospace" ;
  color: #000000 ;
  background-color: #e6f4ff ;
  border: 1px solid ;
  border-color: #cfdbe5 ;
  padding: 3pt;
  white-space: pre ;
}

BTW, note that "Courier New" is a typical M$ font.  People on those
operating systems whose creators were willing to pay the royalties to the
font copyright holders will have fonts with the proper name - "Courier".
They are unlikely to have any of the fonts you list of pre elements as they
are all Windows specific ;-)   If you want to add a good-looking font for
Mac OS, that would be "Monaco", which is also used by Mac text editors by
default.

You may also want to change the order of Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif to Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif for the same reason, as
Arial is just a cheap M$ replacement for Helvetica, and Verdana is a M$
invented font...

You do a lot of readers a favor, thanks a lot!
