Thanks Philippe. Besides simple html emails, I haven't used a table in a long time. I'll dig into border-collapse and spacing.
For the <col> element, it seems that besides passing the validator, it's kinda the same as setting widths on <th>s or <td>s, no? Adding a "row" of <col>s - extra markup - just to set widths. What am I missing? As for the long percentage amount, I was merely following steps from Ethan Marcotte's book for creating a flexible layout. Who am I to argue with him? It was copy/paste from a calculator. Seems a bit nerdy maybe, but it causes no harm.
