In IE(all damned versions), the cells in the message rows in detail mode are not aligned. #11

Main problem:
IE sucks.

More detail:
In every other browser, when a table has more than two rows and one of those 
rows has a cell that spans more than one column, all other cells continue to 
justify left.  In IE, not so much.  I'm tempted to leave the haphazard cell 
layout in the hopes that it will annoy people enough to get them to change to 
Firefox or Chrome or Opera... but I guess I'll try to fix it instead of doing 
something more productive like adding more functionality or releasing the beta 
or whatever.

Added the "table-layout: fixed" style to the message table blocks and gave the 
tables a width of 100%.  Add to that some fixed cell widths and the layout 
rights itself.

CSS has officially become too hard for normal people to work with.  I grieve 
for the end of the days when anyone could put up a simple web site.

Reopening - in Opera 10.6, the layout is still off.  No wonder DHTML is still 
not taking over the world!

I give up.  Mysterious margins, CSS2 and 3 that works differently than every 
other implementation, six different rendering engines in two different browser 
versions, quirks mode?!?

The message layout looks fine in every browser except in IE.  IE now looks 
passable.  That's as much time as I am going to spend on this.  We need to find 
a CSS genius to come up with a message structure that can handle long strings, 
hard widths and elastic widths at the same time, and still work in all browsers 
including the vile IE.  Until then, it is as good as it is going to get.  Some 
advice? - switch to Firefox.
