[ic] rows, column, gutters question

I'm using 4.8.6 with a modified foundation. Some of my item descriptions 
are longer than the tools demo items. Some of the receipts emailed to 
the customer have an error:

B A D   R O W  S P E C I F I C A T I O N - columns too wide.

in the list of purchased items.

My default foundation etc/mail_receipt includes things like:

[row 82]
         [column width=5 align=right][/column]
         [column width=12 gutter=1][/column]
         [column width=32 align=R wrap=1 gutter=1][/column]
         [column width=15 gutter=1]SUBTOTAL[/column]
         [column width=15 gutter=0 align=r][subtotal][/column]
[/row]

The sum of the widths is 79... not 82. Does the width include the 
gutter, or is the gutter added to the width? Since 79<>82, I assume it 
gets added.

The docs say the default gutter is 2, so the sum of the gutters above is 
  5. And 79+5=84, not 82.

Can someone point out the flaw(s) in my logic or my arithmetic?
