Indentation issues in text editors / email

[assafmilman]

Hi, I'm trying to integrate tabulate into a service which sends emails with tabular data.
After creating the tabulate object, I convert to string (printing it looks great in pycharm) and then send by email.

When the recipient gets the email (Gmail in our case), the table's indentations is all wrong.
BUT - when copying the table from the email back to sublime text editor, the indentation looks great!
See the attached screenshots, it'll make more sense.

I understand this is NOT a tabulate issue as this was probably not the original intention, but thought it was worth asking if you can think of a reason why this happens, and maybe if you can think of a solution.

In Gmail:

Sublime (after copying form email))

this is because the font being used in the email is not monospace. try wrapping it in some markup and set font-family to monospace.
