I haven't posted a good example because I'm protecting my client's information, but here's a taste of what I was seeing. This is one of the parts of the page that was causing breakage: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
 <head>
  <title>Daily Sage Issues</title>
  <style>
   body { font-family: sans-serif; }
   table { border: 1px solid black; border-spacing: 0px; border-collap
+se: separate }
   td { border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px; }
   td.right { text-align: right; }
   td.left { text-align: left; }
   td.center { text-align: center; }

   td.bold { text-align: right; font-weight: bold; }
   div.head { text-align: center; font-size: 24px; }
  </style>
 </head>
 <body>
...

and here's the repaired section that worked fine: 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
 <head>
  <title>Daily Sage Issues</title>
  <style>
   body { font-family: sans-serif; }
   table { border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse }
   td { border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px; }
   td.right { text-align: right; }
   td.left { text-align: left; }
   td.center { text-align: center; }
   td.bold { text-align: right; font-weight: bold; }
   div.head { text-align: center; font-size: 24px; }
  </style>
 </head>
 <body>

It really was as simple as removing all of the blank lines in the HTML page.

For a long time, I had a link in my .sig going to Groklaw. I heard that as of December 2024, this link is dead. Still, thanks to PJ for all your work, we owe you so much. RIP Groklaw -- 2003 to 2013.
