I'm using this, and it looks pretty decent in my email reports:
columnspec 
"Disk=1:18,HostName=0:10,Level=1:3,OrigKB=1:9,OutKB=1:9,Compress=1:7,DumpTime=1:7,DumpRate=1:7,TapeTime=
1:7,TapeRate=1:7"

Bear in mind that of the number:doublet, the first one is leading 
spaces, the second one is how many to use for the data proper.  Like 
you, I saw the -1 note, but all it would do is muck the columns out 
of line.

Also, get rid of 'localhost'!  Amanda is a client/server program and 
will only work right (although no effect on this formatting problem) 
for all functions if the FQDN of the machine is used.  We should fix 
a filter to add this to the sig of every message posted thru the 
list.  If you cannot recover, you have been warned.
