Hi,

Table has the attribute HoldAll which means that it doesn't see from the
start a list of functions. When it finally evaluates the Table to a List
it is too late to paint it differently. The trick is to evaluate the
Table manually:

Plot[Evaluate@Table[Sin[n x], {n, 1, 3, 1}], {x, 0, 2 Pi}, 
 PlotRange -> All, PlotStyle -> Thick]

Cheers
Patrick
