Offer Amazon a bajillion dollars to buy it from them?
It's proprietary. Much has been guessed at and reverse engineered by others, but there are still unsolved mysteries. You can check out what
is known on the format wiki here at MobileRead.

I would suggest unpacking an InDesign generated mobi (that contains a table with a nice border around it) with something like the MobiUnpack python script to see exactly what the html to produce what you want, looks like. Then you can modify your source epub (by hand or with Sigil) to something that calibre can work with.
But if you already have InDesign with the Kindle plugin, why are you using calibre to convert your books to mobi? I love me some calibre, but I'm going to use Amazon's official mobi creation software (if they're available to me) to ensure maximum compatibility for ebooks that are going to be read on their devices and apps.
