That is not a function of HTML. That's a function of your printer setup. I'd be
willing to bet Albert is using Explorer and not Netscape too. ;-)

HTML _itself_ cannot "lose" or "garble" anything, because HTML is just markup
inserted in a document. However, documents, whether encoded with HTML or written
with Word, Acrobat, or even old WordPerfect 5.1, _can_ end up being garbled by
software or hardware.

The problem here is that Albert _says_ "HTML", but really he means the whole
system of electronic document delivery over the Web.

For anyone who wishes, I'd recommend the book _Light on the Internet_ by Wendy
Lehnert. Its full citation (including a picture of the cover), is on the
syllabus available off the page http://valinor.purdy.wayne.edu/matrix.html.
