The file templates/prefs/textarea.inc uses the attribute wrap="hard"  IE
inserts line break characters where the wrapping occurs before sending the
data back to the server.  If a long URL is entered as part of a user's
signature, the URL is broken.  Firefox does not respect the wrap attribute
and therefore does not exhibit this problem.  Two possible solutions are:
1 - Use wrap="soft" -- this will wrap in the browser, but be sent to the
server without line breaks.
2 - Don't use the wrap attribute at all (it's not part of the HTML 4 or
XHTML standards) and have the wrapping done on the server side using
String::wrap which prevents breaking long words (or URLs)
