Norman:

Here is what I do.  NOTE: To make the border thicker change the
cellpadding=2 to a greater number:

<table width="100%" bgcolor="#990099" border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="1">
 <tbody>
 <tr>
  <td>
  <table width="100%" bgcolor="#990099" border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="2">
   <tbody>
   <tr>
    <td width="100%" bgcolor="#ffffff">Your Text Goes Here
    </td></tr></tbody></table>
  </td></tr></tbody></table>

Hope this helps:
-Greg
