Well, no, that's really not what I wanted. I'm not sure where the formatting 
occurs because that header.html file doesn't seem to contain enough info; my 
report arrives with all the sections listed vertically at the top; each item 
is a hyperlink that you can click on to take you to the precise section; each 
section is contained within a simple table - the first row is white 
backgrounded and is a sub-section title - each subsequent row within the 
sub-section is grey-backgrounded; new sub-sections are introduced by another 
white backgrounded title row; fonts are larger - the whole thing is very easy 
to glance through and navigate through, and problems are easy to spot.
