Thanks, this is extremely useful, as well. In retrospect, I think my question may be a bit moot, as the HTML formatting would probably allow tables to remain aligned regardless of length of any one cell. My comment was motivated by other usage where I wish that I could simply wrap an entire simple text, whitespace-formatted email message, e.g. generated from org export to a plain text buffer, with a Monospace directive so that webmail users could appreciate what I see with Sans Mono.
