One of the concepts behind HTML is that if a browser doesn't recognize=20=
a tag or attribute, it can skip it. I hope that Eckhart leaves out=20
Table support because it's unnecessary on a long screen, if the web=20
developer coded the page somewhat correctly.
IMHO, Eckhart should have Courier ignore: FONT, TABLE, TR and TD as=20
well as CSS and other 'styling' things.
Of course part of that is so that it doesn't blow my MP2000's heap... :)
