True. Note, the markup you have is invalid. It should be: I can be reached at <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr><td>user</td><td>@</td> <td>example.com</td></tr></table>. It still screws up any mailto: linking of addresses and spaces are rendered around the "@" on some browsers (at least the text-based ones like w3m, links, and lynx). Also, the table introduces breaks in the flow of text where breaks are not intended to be. --ewh
