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 http://www.brool.com/index.php/using-mu4e -k.
