    Yes, indeed the table does have a WIDTH attribute. There are also <col>'s and
     <td>'s with the WIDTH attribute. Many of the <TABLE>s' WIDTH have a value
    like
    638.
                
    How does w3m convert this large table width value into a text column width
    (like 80 columns)? Will the WIDTH attributes on the <col>'s and <td>'s also
    have to be removed? (It looks like it might.)
     
    Is there a way to make w3m think that 78 columns is wide enough to handle
    a table of WIDTH 638.
     
    I'd prefer not to have to edit either the input or the output to do this sort
    of conversion. I sort of wish it was pilot error. ;)
