The word wraps must be part of the message board software.

It is readable but not EPD compliant. The EPD format is e.g. described
as part of the PGN standard. In the am and bm EPD opcodes you have to
use PGN format, e.g. d5 instead d4d5, or Rf3 instead of f8f3.
This might be the cause of Jouni's proble in using the EPD data.
