When you copy a range of cells from Excel, you are only copying data. No HTML is copied, as Excel doesn't generate it.
The grid lines are non-printing in any case, so you need first to turn on cell borders in Excel for any grid lines you want to appear. You then need to copy the selection into a program that understands Excel formatting and can show the grid lines and colors on screen.
So select your cell range and copy-paste into a Word document. Word will generate the HTML code required to display the table, and you can then copy-paste from Word into a Gmail compose message.
It's an extra step, but works every time AND should be received correctly by any recipient.
