Looks perfect to me. I'm using fixed-width font in my email
client. Changing tabs to spaces won't solve bad looking tables because
most people use variable-width fonts. Nothing you can do about that.

You can also use mu4e and compose emails in an Org minor-mode
(includes babel and everything!) and convert emails to HTML when sent
(and include a plain-text copy too). I think that would be the best
bet of having a table look good to the recipient. See "Org Mode
Example" section at bottom of
