Adding some lemon juice or vinegar helps.
Egg whites need to be heated up to a certain temperature in order to coagulate ("set").
Lowering the pH (increasing the acidity) of the cooking liquid is one way to lower the temperature required for coagulation of the egg whites. So, in a way, this does prevent "feathering" of the eggs, but not because of any direct reaction; rather, the reason the eggs feather less is because they have less time to feather, because they don't need to get as hot.
Any acidic liquid will have a similar effect. White vinegar is probably the most effective, but you could also add lemon juice or wine to the poaching liquid.

Why is cooking so much work? I'd gladly accept an instant casserole any time...and an instant laundr-o-mat-something...and some instant cleaning gear...not to mention the instant lawn mower...![]()
