The reason for the inconsistent spacing is that the first example above
is used on a webpage, the second in an e-mail. In the e-mails the
colons have varying amounts of spaces before them, so that they line
up. This assumes, of course, that people's e-mail clients are set to
use a monospaced font for plain text messages. Mine isn't -- so the
spacing looks even messier. Maybe forget the alignment and use no
spaces before the colon in the e-mails? Would cut down on different
text strings.
