ok, you have got me :-)

 left { display: block;  float: left; padding-right: 0.5em;
  font-weight: bold }

Thanks to Qt3, there are no troubles.
But GNOME & Evolution really sucks here!

BTW: I doubt KMail, with its original code, will work with Japaneese text at 
all. When you need *vertical* direction (not horizintal, either RTL or LTR), 
you can't use tables at all!
I am not sure about Chineese, though.

P.S.  There is another way to do what you want, it's CSS2 generated-content.
But, unfortunately, KHTML doesn't support it yet!
See my bug report about this:

#33595: CSS2: { content: } and { counter-increment }
