They are not in the mail message, but I suspect that's a tab handling problem in the almost infinite chain from your org file to my inbox, and not an org-mode problem. If they *are* flush right, then I think everything is as it should be, no? The documentation for the variable you mention says: The column to which tags should be indented in a headline. If this number is positive, it specifies the column. If it is negative, it means that the tags should be flushright to that column. For example, -80 works well for a normal 80 character screen. That's exactly what I get: when I set it to -90, they are flush right ending at column 90; when I set it to 90, they are flush left starting at column 90.
