nope, i got it... evolt was holding and filtering mail because one of
those Sircam viruses made it past one of the guys who normally
deletes that stuff.... *i* think he was testing us...
the fact that you seemed to have posted this as a reply to 'RE:
[thelist] Looking for a poll' i think caused it to get filtered, so i
almost missed it this time... if yer gonna do that, at least trim the
footers and old message, although sending it as a new message is
*always* preferred...

nope, all i have to do is resize, and whatever you guessed is
wrong... it's not that cell anyway, it's the cell above it that doesn't
have it... cut it back to what it was...

there's only one cell above it (the cell holding the table holding the
hand), and i'd add it there (using CSS to start)... then i'd make sure
the nested table holding the hand has all its bg properties defined
to cover it as necessary... especially since we all know about NN's
bg bug...

nope, that won't do it... in fact, % sizes in images often show up as
busted in NN4.x...

that's not it, though, it's the cell above it, and it won't shrink to
exactly the table size its holding because it has no reason to...

did you get the right cell? turn the table borders on, and i think you
may have inserted into the cell that's got the bg in it...

should have no effect...

that'll get ignored...

as above...
