When you copy something, a lot of incidental information is included. 
You can save cells copied from a spreadsheet as a table in a text 
document, for example. What happens in general depends on what 
options you select (e.g. via Paste Special...) and what the target 
document can accept. I suspect your mail client will be offered tab 
characters between cells, so that empty cells would result in 
consecutive tab characters. Your mail client may or may not recognise 
tab characters; it may treat them in different ways; whether it 
transmits them as part of the mail message may depend on your choice 
of mail format (e.g. HTML versus plain text ); how recipients' mail 
clients handle the result may differ!

I trust this helps.
