e-mail format for flight info sent to friends

I'm curious how much effort people devote to formatting flight information when sending it off to friends/family that you are visiting. I've noticed that I often take a bit of time trying to present the information in the most readable format, so that my friends can quickly see flight times and connecting cites.

Or do just most people say: "hey John, I land in SFO at 10pm" and leave out all of the potentially extraneous info like airline, flight number.

The other option of course is to just e-mail the itinerary from the airline website, which I'm sure the greatest majority of people do, and I may just be the sole weirdo out there who still attempts to boil it down.

I sent off an e-mail today to a friend who I'll be meeting up with in 2 different cities, flying at different times on different airlines, and formatted the info like this:

--------------
Date: Wednesday, May 2
Flight: NW 820
Departs: IND at 1:52PM
Arrives: MCO at 4:09PM

Date: Friday, May 4
Flight: NW 427
Departs: MCO at 9:46AM
Arrives: DTW at 12:28PM

Date: Friday, May 4
Flight: NW 386
Departs: DTW at 1:30PM
Arrives: BOS at 3:26PM

--------------

on another occasion I just sent something like this:

--------------
Mon 3/20
Arrive SEA 7:08pm
Mon 3/27
Depart SEA 10:35pm
--------------

and the last example is:

--------------
12/14
IND->MSP 9:30am-> 10:22am NWA #221
MSP->LAX 11:25am-> 1:18pm NWA #91

12/17
LAX->LAS 10:30am-> 11:37pm NWA #628

12/20
LAS->MSP 1:00am-> 5:57am NWA #434
MSP->IND 10:03am-> 12:40pm NWA #498
--------------

So how do you do it?
