The entity   [non-breaking space] is great at keeping unwanted
line breaks from happening between words.

Is there such a thing as a non-breaking hyphen to prevent words like
'e-mail' and 'e-commerce' from breaking in two pieces at the end of a
line?????

Squeeze the following table in a browser an see what I'm trying to
prevent.=


<html><head><body bgcolor=3D"#ffffff">

<table width=3D"100%" border=3D"1" bgcolor=3D"#79D8B1">
  <tr>
    <td><font color=3D"#663333" face=3D"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-ser=
if"
size=3D"1"><b>

</table>
