The dependency issue body is markdown, and the notification mail carries it verbatim. The web renders the table; a mail client shows the raw pipes, which do not line up:

| Package | Current | Latest |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `go.yaml.in/yaml/v3` | v3.0.4 | v3.0.5 |
| `golang.org/x/net` | v0.57.0 | v0.58.0 |

Padding every cell to its column width fixes the plain-text reading and changes nothing on the web, since a renderer ignores the padding. One body, legible either way — no separate mail formatting.
