It is not possible to manage translation with the same length of "Excerpt" and "Website" to have "URL" with the same number of spaces (required for "URL" which is the same for both types)...

BTW, Why it is "Excerpt" when there is the whole text of every comment in notification email?

It probably used to be the excerpt. I've actually noticed this in the Notifly plugin, that this line just dumps comment_content, which isn't actually going to be formatted with things such as wpautop() (or at least nl2br, in the case of plain text emails).

It is possible to line these up in the translation, but it's probably a royal pain, as you have to do all the math yourself. We can probably do this with sprintf() padding. Or, we can probably kill it off, since so few probably use monospaced text in their email clients anymore.

Patch does this.

I wonder how long before someone proposes using HTML..
