Interesting. On my G3 Mac (Mac OS 9.1), Netscape Communicator 4.76
renders the page just fine, but Internet Explorer:mac 5.1 doesn't.
Looking at the source code for the page, I see:
<TD VALIGN=TOP>[<A HREF=".../pgsql-php">archives</A>]</TD>
<TD VALIGN=TOP>[<A HREF=".../pgsql-sql">archives</A>] </TD>
^
The space after the closing bracket causes "[archives] " to be wider
than "[archives]". It appears that IE sets the column's width on the
first instance ("[archives]"), then decides that the last instance
needs to be wrapped. In summary, the space should be removed.
On a related topic, I would like to suggest that you install links in
each of the mailing list subscription pages
http://www7.us.postgresql.org/users-lounge/index.html
http://developer.postgresql.org/maillist.php
pointing across to the other page. I may not be the only person who
didn't know that there was another area for mailing list administration.

Vince, can you apply this patch to the user's lounge that fixes this
problem? Thanks.

I don't accept patches for the website. Never have. But I've fixed
the problem.
Vince.
