Well, I could work out if the bit that will be added to the line will
run it over some limit (like 80 chars) and only put in the line break
then, but it would involve a lot more code.
When you're dealing with a view that has 40 or 50 fields, having them
all run together over a dozen or two lines is just horrible.
