I can't find out how to correct this - it's the part from below the line beginning 'Subtotal' that is centred.

Anyone help?

I don't think it is that it is centred. I think it is that the Perl (which generates the email) puts tabs before the valaues you identify in order to make it look right-justified.

Of course, if you are using a non-proportional font in your email reader, then it will look out of alignment.

No ideas how to fix it I'm afriad. Maybe if Zoltan is around he can advise.

Correct, the lines are not centered but aligned to have a nice layout with proportional fonts. If you want to get rid of this formatting then you can do this only by some script customisation. The appropriate fragments can be found in GenerateCustomerMail function of Orderscript.pl. If you can see lines like

$ACTINIC::B2B->AppendXML('CART', sprintf(sprintf(" %%%ds\r\n", $nPriceColumnWidth), $sSubTotal));

then you are looking to the right place. But I wouldn't suggest to do any customisation without perl skills.
