How do I preserve table formatting from email Body when writing to a file?

I have a visual basic program that detects then an email with a report arrives.
I am able to write the data from the Body of the email out to a file (txt, html..).
In the Outlook view, there is a nice table. However one of the fields is a text field that often has Tabs in it, so when I try to import into excel, the columns do not align.
I want to be able to export the body of the e-mail so I can then import it into excel and preserve the columns from the table.
How can I write the body into a file so I can then determine wherer the column seperators are in the table?
Thank you.

I have found the solution. One needs to save the entire e-mail, not just the Body and use the olHTML format, so something like this:

Then you can open the file in Excel and the columns are preserved. Some parsing of the Grouped Cells is required.
