I use the following verb (two lines, watch line wrap):

NB. Set box characters for email.  y is 1 to go to email, _1 to come out 
of email
setboxforemail =: 3 : 0
y =. {.y,1
9!:7 a. {~ (y=1){:: 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26;43 43 43 43 43 43 
43 43 43 124 45
)


    ;: 'a list of boxes'
┌─┬────┬──┬─────┐
│a│list│of│boxes│
└─┴────┴──┴─────┘
    setboxforemail 1

    ;: 'a list of boxes'
+-+----+--+-----+
|a|list|of|boxes|
+-+----+--+-----+

Then you have to hope the reader is using a fixed-width font.
