As long as your mimetype is text/plain you should have minimal trouble. There's no way you can control what the recipient's mail client does, however. In particular, there are a lot of mail clients out there that handle tabs poorly. Outlook Express is the poster child for this: it ignores tabs completely, however it is by no means the only culprit. It's simply the most widespread one. In other words, use strings of spaces rather than tabs, and you'll probably find your messages coming out looking better.
