I’ve altered the way order details are shown, both to you and the customer, and I think that the cart is much more understandable and professional looking. Rather than just listing the subtotal and shipping prices, and naming off any choices that have been made, the orders are now listed in table format. To see what I mean, make a test purchase here:

(this item is a really good one to test: http://hyenacart.com/prod_details.php?id=39740&vid=1 )
New orders will look a little different than old ones. For orders placed before the update, you’ll just see the subtotal and shipping; and choices will be listed in the comments box. For new orders, each choice will be listed as a separate line item, with quantity, unit price, and total price listed. It is much more readable this way, and it should be much clearer to your customers what they bought and how much it cost. In addition, their payment page now reads much more like a traditional invoice. In fact, you could now print out the order_details page as an invoice.
Note that customers can change their shipping options after they make their purchase (sometimes they don’t have time to click all the right buttons in desparate hyena situations 😛 ), and that’s why I don’t report shipping options in your confirmation e-mail.
I’m hoping to add discount codes next, since that’s been a popular request.
