looks like the the table does not work. adding "printing" keyword.
Comment 2 Not Zed 2005-05-19 09:36:03 UTC 
all output is generated directly by gtkhtml.

also, you really need to attach an example message with bugs like this

Print Preview in Evolution 3.2.3 (using GtkHtml for rendering) looks slightly broken.
Print Preview in Evolution 3.5.1-pre (using WebKit for rendering) looks correct.

The use of GtkHtml in Evolution is slowly phased out in favor of the more
powerful WebKit. Currently Evolution is the only left main consumer of GtkHtml.
Hence there are no plans to fix this problem in the GtkHtml codebase: Closing
this bug report as OBSOLETE / WONTFIX.
However the problem will be FIXED in Evolution version 3.6 (to be released in
September 2012) as it will use WebKit instead of GtkHtml.
