There actually is a button on the toolbar that allows columns to be displayed properly. It is the "Formatted Code" button, 6th from the right on the message toolbar. Here is a sample:

Number     Class               In Service   Out of Service    Previous Owner & #
1st 1      60 Class (C-16)     1890            1904            D&RG 242 
2nd 1      56 Class            1906            1913            D&RG 56/RGS 35/BC&F 1
2          60 Class            1890            1916            D&RG 256

In playing with that sample, I find the best way to line up the columns is to count the spaces between columns as you type them. Since you can't see individual space characters, its difficult to tell how many spaces are in copy-n-paste text. The columns only line up visually after using the Preview function (before posting).
