You can set html as the content body and use some html code to draw a table inside that.

MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
NSString *emailBody = @"<html>....</html>"; //html code for drawing table
[picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:YES];

To draw a table in html use something like,

<table border=1>
 <thead><tr><td>#</td><td>Name</td></tr></thead>
 <tbody>
  <tr><td>1</td><td>One</td></tr>
  <tr><td>2</td><td>Two</td></tr>
  <tr><td>3</td><td>Three</td></tr>
  <tr><td>4</td><td>Four</td></tr>
 </tbody>
</table>

For more details on how to draw table using html code, you can check some stackoverflow questions such as HTML Table different number of columns in different rows

  • @user1871697, You can use `[NSString stringWithFormat:@"#%@", nameParam]` to append the strings. You need to join the above code with required values using this. You can use multiple `stringWithFormat` and then join all the strings using this. `%@` is the format to insert a string between another string as shown above. – iDev Dec 03 '12 at 16:45
