Heh. I think that's a first -- a spammer sending images with no HTML. Even klez sends HTML :-). | > [1] I was present today while a co-worker tried to fix some HTML | > generated by MS Front Page.

We figure that the user created the tables, put the images in them, then dragged the images to a "better" location (on his screen), and that Front Page obliged by inserting absolute positions, and totally ignoring the tables. It's actually kind of amusing to open the HTML in Mozilla Composer. It visualizes the (borderless) table in red lines and shows the outline of the images (because they became broken links in the local copy). -D -- (E)ventually (M)allocs (A)ll (C)omputer (S)torage GnuPG key : http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/public_key.gpg
