                             Content: All three rows (<tr>) have both bgColor and inline-styled background attributes.

                             Both need to be changed for all three rows (<tr>) because some email clients use the inline-style background

                             and others use the bgColor attribute. 

                             The first row (<tr>) serves as 'padding-top' because the padding-top style is not supported in all email clients.

                             To change the 'padding-top' size, you change the line-height.

                             The third row (<tr>) serves as 'padding-bottom'.  Follow the instructions laid out for the first row and apply them here as well.

                             Some notes...

                             1.  Don't change padding from 0 to some other size in the td inline-style!  It's necessary so as to not break the skin.

                             2.  The align attribute is what sets the text-alignment.  You don't need to add text-align to the inline-style.

                             3.  As mentioned before, there are two background styles that need to change for all three rows <tr>.
