Peter,

You may want to consider sending both a plain text body (which will still look odd to the user that has a proportional font set for that view) and an HTML body which uses a TABLE to get the alignments you are looking for. That way you are not forcing the end user's email system to be configured in any particular manner just because of this one email you are sending.
