Thanks for the info, Michael.

I have a few questions concerning what you've suggested:

#1. What should I use to replace <br> as a multi-line separator?

#2. What should I use to replace spaces (nbsp?) in images?

#5. Is 12pt font size too big? If I understand what you're saying: fonts 
become user-specific to their browser/setup? (So, in effect, it doesn't 
matter what font I use?)

Thanks for your help,
Regards
Andre
