Mar 29, 2013 11:38 AM in response to fmontrelayby Zlig,I'm assuming you're referring to OS X Mail.
The easiest way is to create a table in Textedit (Format > Table) and once you are done simply copy and paste into Mail.

Mar 29, 2013 11:01 PM in response to Zligby fmontrelay,Waow, don't you you have something more complex?
Is there really no way to do that within mail itself?

Aug 13, 2013 7:34 AM in response to Zligby BlBell9999,This doesn't work for me. I copied my table from excel into TextEdit and then it still won't go into mail... any other suggestions?

Apple obvioulsy does not give propoer attention to their email software: No real editor (see this thread), no reliable signature formatting, no receipt acknowledgment etc...
That's strange. We are millions of professionals using our macs for business but this seem to be of no importance to Apple.

Aug 14, 2013 5:34 AM in response to fmontrelayby BobTheFisherman,It has never been a problem for me. I attach Excel files almost daily to professional emails and it has never failed me. You apparently do not have a grasp on the difference between email and more capable programs such as Excel.

Aug 14, 2013 6:37 AM in response to fmontrelayby Barney-15E,Receipt acknowledgement is not "professional." It is an intrusion into your recipient's privacy.
The email "editor" is just fine. I have no desire to see a bunch of random font colors, mixed sizes, and all that other crap in an email.
Receiving either of those things in an email makes me not want to do business with you. It's a sad state that people are impressed by that.

Aug 14, 2013 6:38 AM in response to Barney-15Eby Barney-15E,The company I work for actually strips all of that formatting out and displays the messages as plain text, for security I suppose.

Aug 14, 2013 8:23 AM in response to BobTheFishermanby fmontrelay,I do have a grasp. Thanks for the almost insulting message.
Inserting a table in an email is nothing fancy or outstanding; it is just a common thing.

Aug 14, 2013 8:25 AM in response to Barney-15Eby fmontrelay,Unfortunately, though you may be right, receipt if often needed for legal reasons.
That being said, I don't see why Apple should rule how I send emails. If they say this is for privacy reasons, I'l have a big laugh given everything they know about me (specially on my iPhone) and that I don't know they know.

Aug 14, 2013 8:28 AM in response to fmontrelayby BobTheFisherman,You then of course know that displaying email format including tables, signatures, colors, fonts, etc. is totally in control of the recipient. It matters not what formatting you want to insert into an email. You have no impact on the format the recipient uses to display the email.

They don't. You can use any OSX compatible mail client you choose to, pick a different one, one that has the facilities you need.

If you need a receipt for legal reasons, the email read receipt will not do it. Even if an email client allows read receipt requests, it is totally within the control of the recipient whether or not they send the receipt. You have no control over read receipts even if your email client supports read receipts.
