Yeah, I encountered this too, but *could* fix it in NS, at least with 
ver. 1.22 or 2.0.

With the only attributes set for <table> as "border=0", I do indeed get padding of 
roughly 4 pixels between images.

When I add "cellpadding=0" to that, the margin shrinks by about half; 
when I add "cellspacing=0" to the preceding, I get images that abut 
without margins at all.
 
It looks to me that NS has default values built-in for cell border, 
padding and spacing that act together in weird concert... anyway, 
here's a test snippet of code that produces the above result on 
several systems where I've tried it; please let me know how it works 
at your end.

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
  <tr>
    <td><img src="image.gif"></td>
    <td><img src="image.gif"></td>
    <td><img src="image.gif"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><img src="image.gif"></td>
    <td><img src="image.gif"></td>
    <td><img src="image.gif"></td>
  </tr>
</table>
