[MlMt] properly spaced two column signature

Dear Mailmate users,

I need to make a 2 column email signature that looks something like this:

```
Name
Address A line 1               Address B line 1
Address A line 2               Address B line 2
```

This doesn't work with plain text because the white space that defines the alignment of Address B will not be correctly rendered by most recipients.

I think it only really works if the signature is rendered with some kind of monospaced font or I suppose with a two column layout in HTML. I see that mailmate can support html signatures (https://manual.mailmate-app.com/compose), but I've never used them until now.

Can anyone advise on the best way to achieve this? So far I have sent myself a markdown email with the signature in a code block, copied the HTML and added that as an HTML alternative signature.

With many thanks,

Greg.
