When you select REPLY, you are put into a composition box. Just below the box (under Submit Post/Cancel Post/Preview) a few formatting features are listed. To the right of that is a link which will show you some additional features including the codes for pre-formatted text.
Here's an attempt to show how preformatting works:
This stuff is in columns 25 50 75 10 200 30 160 70 80
The editor eats the blank spaces which raises cain with your data. To make it display properly, precede the columnar data with [xxx] and follow it with [/xxx], where "xxx" are the characters "pre".
In other words, lay it out like this:
This stuff is in columns [xxx] 25 50 75 10 200 30 160 70 80 [/xxx]
