Well Gerry, as useful a contributor to this forum as Marilyn is with 
her content, I wouldn't consider her advice on e-mail layout is that 
useful.

The cleanest solution to the 'write your own table' problem is to 
create it in a non-proportional font.  Much the same rules apply to 
ASCII art, as per the example below.  If the picure you see below is 
distorted this means that you are not using a non-proportional font.

               _                          
             /  \_
            /   (_)---_
           (  (  /    {)
---_        \__ !_ _--/
-_  \/^\/^\__)_(
  \-_-^--^    __}--O0
          \-/)  \__0O
            /  (")
      __<=>(___!!___
     /______________\

Courier is one font that you could construct a table with.

If you really *must* have something more fancy, don't start sending 
Microsoft Excel files about, with the associated risk of unwittingly 
transmitting viruses.   Instead, learn how to create a web page using 
HTML, with whatever tables you deem desirable, then upload it to a 
free web provider.   Then simply post the *link only* here.

That way the subscriber is given the choice if they wish to view 
the fancy graphics, rather than being forced to download grossly 
bloated information.

BTW Gerry, I am enjoying your contributions here.
