Then you can only cut & paste the text between <td>....</td> or the

It may be you are seeing something like this
A-
<td width="33%" bgcolor="#C0C0C0"><font color="#008000">AAAA</font></td>
B-
<td width="33%" bgcolor="#0000FF"><font color="#800000">BBBB</font></td>
You can see the color changes , background - bgcolor and the font color.
The text is only a small part of the line AAAA and BBBB, which is what
you need to cut & paste only.
Another way, I find easy is to save the table as plain text only,
getting rid of the formatting. Copy over what I need and reapply the
formatting after the data is copied over. To make lfe easier (IMHO) you
can use CSS http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp to define your
styles and colors outwith the table (mostly) and concentrate on the
table contents.
See examples
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_examples.asp
Basically CSS does this, for you,
<head>
<style type="text/css">
..tablea {
color: Green;
border: 5px ridge LightSteelBlue;
background-color: HotPink;
}
..tablea td {
color: red;
}
..tableb {
color: Blue;
}
</style>
</head>
Then the HTML looks like this
<table class="tablea">
<tr>
<td>AAAAAA</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table class="tableb">
<tr>
<td>BBBBBB</td>
</tr>
</table>
Now you have control over the style in the CSS and it's very easy to see
the AAAAAA and BBBBBB data without the clutter of inline font / color
changes.
So do I :-)
Do you have an example URL?

I'm curious; why do you insert X-No-Archive in the body, when you
are using Forte Agent?
'Group / Properties / Post' ... 'Prevent usenet messages from being
archived'.
Or 'Group / Default Properties' for *all* groups.

It's a hang over from a old version / some interaction that used to lose

Options / Posting Pref. / Introduction was always okay.
The second, more important reason is some posts, the main on topic
replies should be archived and I can simply delete the line when I
remember <groan>. Then other posts like this, not part of the main
problem/solution don't need to be archived.
