This is a straw man argument. People have been creating plain text tables since the beginning of email. For example:
| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 | Header 4 | Header 5 | |----------+----------+----------+----------+----------| | Item 1 | Item 2 | Item 3 | Item 4 | Item 5 | | Item 6 | Item 7 | Item 8 | Item 9 | Item 10 |
You do realize your example looks like crap if you don't use a fixed width font. I use gmail as my email client much of the time, and it uses a proportional font and thus your table does not line up at all. If you need to specify a font such as your example needs, then I think you need html. As to *bold*, gmail for one does not honor that.
