Why do you hurt yourself with all of that repetitive coding? It is
certainly wastely, and is sure to lead to typographical errors and
cut-and-paste problem.

<style> <!--
table.one tr td {
background-color: #000080;
color: #ffffff;
font: bold 11pt arial,helvetica,sans serif;
}
--> </style>

print "<td width=85>NUMBER</td>";
print "<td width=120>NAME / EMAIL</td>";
print "<td width=130>CITY</td>";

Isn't that easier to read? And it's SO much easier to maintain, such as
when you want to tweak the colors.
