Sorry, Glenn, that was my fault - like I said, I simply overlooked the
<pre> tag.

But I am curious whether you have a similar explanation for the problem
I mentioned here:

http://www.freelists.org/archives/arachne/02-2006/msg00058.html

Unlike the other one which seems to be a problem with Sourceforge, the
posts in my forum display properly with Mozilla but not with Arachne.

So while the problem I reported now had nothing to do with Arachne, I am
still convinced that Arachne *has* problems with displaying tables
correctly.

Udo
