make another row with just a spacer gif in it like so... (0actually,
unless it kills the design, make this the first row)

<tr>
  <td><img src="spacer.gif" width="268" height="1" alt=""></td>
  <td width="100%"><img src="spacer.gif" alt=""></td>
</tr>

remove any and all other width designations on the other rows.

if that doesn't work i'll kill myself. (no seriously, i will.)
