It's optional if you want to apply it to your existing styles, however it ships that way as the default.
It's one of those you can't please em all things. If it's not fixed, IE users post it as a bug, if it is fixed, everyone else posts that they liked the old way

It adds a bunch of horizontal scroll bars to your posts, whether necessary or not... I mean... it "fixes" IE7 as best as it can to conform to web standards... I mean... it's a M$ plot to make Firefox look bad... I mean... it prevents long posts from scrolling off the page in IE7, even tho FF already does this... I mean... well, all of the above probably.

lets just say the fix makes things look horrid in real browsers lol...
An example: 1. Make a long post as a quote. 2. Quote the quote. 3. Quote the quote again.
Now, the ie7 fix is to specify a height and width that always appear, so each box has a specific height and width it has to conform to. So, what you get is a box with scrollbars, another box with scrollbars, and another box with even more scrollbars.
The original way is, each would be embedded in the prior, no extra scrollbars as they weren' tneeded.
