Didn't catch the mozilla theme - so I fixed that.  Looks like there 
were only 6 themes that were not doing wrapping of the header (it just 
happens to be that the Horde default was one that was not doing 
wrapping) - the default actually *has* been to wrap the header.  I 
can't see any reason for the other 5 to wrap the header so I won't 
touch them.

I played around with the other 2 options but chopping off the text can 
lose valuable information at the end of the header text and the 
scrollbars were very annoying (IMHO).  #1 seems like the best solution 
(and what I did for the mozilla theme) since there only appears to be a 
single theme at this time that requires header lines not to wrap.
