pradeep behera asked the ZPT mailinglist about the following:

A define only exists within the element upon which it is declared.
define both YourName and YourEmail in the tr instead, like this:

<tr tal:define="yourname request/YourName|nothing" ; youremail
request/YourEmail|nothing">


and... on a totally unrelated side-note:
please stop using those <font>-elements. They only do you evil..
;)
