Images and "align = center" in Internet Explorer

The other day I reported that it appeared that Internet Explorer allocated
excess vertical padding to an image unless you specified "align = center".

Today, after a hell of a lot of experimenting, during which I got completely
contradictory results, I eventually discovered what was really going on.

If you specify a cell containing an image with the line below, it is rendered
correctly:

<td><img src="Images/One_90_120.jpg" width="90" height="120" border="0"></td>

If however the final </td> does not immediately follow the image source
specification, as in the line below, an additional 4 pixels padding is added to
the bottom of the image

<td><img src="Images/One_90_120.jpg" width="90" height="120" border="0"> </td>

As I have been caused a lot of trouble by accidentally copying or deleting the
</td> when it is at the end of a long line, I like to put the <td> and </td> on
their own lines, so you can imagine how much trouble I had working out what was
actually going on.

For a demonstration of this effect see :

Hi, Clancy.

As you discovered, the space inside the tags is real space, you need to
keep them butt up to the content.

And images do not have a valid align="center" attribute.
