Using Microsoft Excel to export as HTML purely sucks. Microsoft uses

I don't agree with that.
I needed to include a table in an e-mail I wanted to send someone,
and I copied an Excel sheet into the e-mail in Seamonkey 2.14.1
It looked beautiful, and now that I go back to the Sent folder
and look at the plain HTML it looks good as well. I know that
it does not work so when when copying from Word (there is a lot
of extra junk that accomplishes next to nothing) but this is
about Excel, not Word.
It is also not true that the code works only in IE.
It looks like you are uttering findings of 10 years ago.
You missed that he said "export" from Excel. Saving as HTML from any
Office app produces horrendous HTML.
What you did was copy and let the HTML composer turn the paste action
into decent code. In order to generate the leanest HTML from an Excel
table I:
1. Have the table in Excel
2. Save As .csv
3. Open .csv in text editor, copy
4. Paste in to Composer/Blue Griffon
5. Highlight the text and choose Table - Create table from selection
5. Copy the code and paste into my HTML page
