So with current git, it looks like this for me:

      Column 1  Column 2
      --------  --------
      A         B
      ABCD              EFGH
      SPACES        Instead of Tabs

    Even with multi-byte UTF8 characters:

      Column 1  Column 2
      --------  --------
      Ä         B
      åäö               100
      A Møøse   once bit my sister..

and with that patch it looks much better:

      Column 1      Column 2
      --------      --------
      A             B
      ABCD          EFGH
      SPACES        Instead of Tabs

    Even with multi-byte UTF8 characters:

      Column 1      Column 2
      --------      --------
      Ä             B
      åäö           100
      A Møøse       once bit my sister..

(of course, to see that assumes that you have a fixed-sized font in
your mail viewer, and that the spacing didn't get screwed up by my
cut-and-paste).
