v_pgn

  This variable affects the format in which games are emailed to you.  If your
'pgn' variable is non-zero (whether a number, 'true' or 'on'), the server
emails games to you in PGN (Portable Game Notation)  format.  If zero,
regular, column format will be used.  Games emailed by both the "automail"
variable and the "mailstored" command are affected.

Regular, column format looks like this:
