Embedding a PDF is possible, but not what you want.  If you can send your 
message as HTML, you can use <pre> </pre> around the columnar data to have 
it displayed in fixed width font.  Using &nbsp; instead of spaces will also 
help ensure your data is aligned how you intend.  The rest of your message 
can be displayed in whichever font your clients choose.
