Answer 1

Some years ago I found that you can insert a table in the email body when using Thunderbird. Since then I have switched to mutt. So, out of curiosity, I created a table in html by using latex2html on a simple latex table. I then opened the mutt editor to create an email and copied and pasted the html code into the mutt editor and closed it to go to the mutt compose menu. Before sending the email, I used Ctrl-t to edit the content type and change it from "text/plain" to "text/html". Upon sending the email and opening it in gmail in a browser, the table appeared exactly as I would have wanted.

So, in summary, one can paste an html table into the mutt editor (vim, in my case) and just change the content type before sending it.
