RTF to Mobi to Kindle: Table Border and Formatting are lost
When i convert and RTF to Mobi at least two things happen:
1. Table border becomes invisible in Calibre viewer and on Kindle. I converted Mobi file to ePUB and can see that there is no border size information in the ePub version.
2. Bold and Italic text formatting inside the only table cell does not show in Kindle 3 (Calibre viewer displays text well). I converted Mobi file to ePUB and can see that there is bold and italic formatting but for some reason Kindle ignores it.

Of course it could be that Kalibre does not parse and display properly formatted Mobi files well. But on the other hand i know that Kalibre does support table border and it can display Italic and Bold within table cells. It would be great if Calibre provided mobi format that Kalibre does display correctly.

I am using Calibre v0.7.28

In case someone is interested in solving this mystery - attached is the test_table.rtf.
