HTML table in some emails distributed from Yahoo group cannot be displayed to the full width in Firefox 2.0. The issue doesn't exist for Internet Explorer.

The symptom is that the sponsor links appended by Yahoo Group was displayed at the right side of the HTML table and cropped it. It was supposed to be displayed underneath the HTML table.

I will attach the complete HTML pages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Whenever I open the email in Yahoo email or Gmail
2.

this should be converted into testcase from the archive in order to judge it.

I tried to keep the testcase as simple as possible, but I did leave in some of the coloring to make the overlap more obvious. Hope this helps.

The problem here is this line in the original:
<div style="padding: 0pt 15px 0pt 0pt; width: 490px; float: left;">
Changing the 490px to 600px gets the correct output. I don't know html, so I'm not sure if this is a bad html issue or a firefox/mozilla issue though.

The div pushes the reminder of the table into to the overflow this should overlap.
