Is there any way to embed a table into a message? I grabbed a table of data and tried to paste it in (not the first time I've tried) and it comes out all messed up.
I really don't have time to rearrange the deck chairs. Alternative suggestions?
(see my post on "The Point" in the 2008-9 ski/board Deals thread.)

You could try wraping HTML tags around the Table like so:

<HTML>
<Table>
.

.
</Table>
</HTML>

I'm not aware of a way to make a table. You can't embed HTML code in a post, so that won't work...

Bill, this is possible to do, however it requires a lot of font/space formatting that's more of a headache than anything else.

If you want to try it, convert your table to or start off as unformatted text so it isn't mistaken for html, change the font to something fixed-width (such as courier), eliminate tabs, wrap "code" + "/code" around it in brackets [] and vee-oh-lah. Should you succeed you'll see a much more spartan version of the table you've created.

Quicker/less tedious way to do it, as was mentioned, would be to just print screen and upload as jpeg.
