Ah, I didn't think of that, thanks. Laborious but manageable. But:

Both your examples are wrapped, in the same way. (I checked the message 
source, it's not some setting on my end.) It appears that, although 
Thunderbirds editor remembers the "don't wrap" setting, wrapping still 
occurs before sending. (The wrapping-before-sending code uses a slightly 
different algorithm than the editor too, so messages often look 
different after sending. Thunderbirds editor is really bad.)

A last attempt: two (equal) quotes, the second one with the leading "> " 
removed:

>           output += ('<td colspan=%s\>' % max_columns) + line + '</td\></tr\>\n'

           output += ('<td colspan=%s\>' % max_columns) + line + 
'</td\></tr\>\n'

I'm curious how this will come out.

Gertjan.
