What's the OS that Xymon is running on?

What mail system runs on the Xymon server?

Xymon will probably execute the binary /usr/bin/mail.  What is
/usr/bin/mail?  Is it mailx or mutt or something else?  On
RedHat/Fedora/Centos/SUSE you can type "rpm -qi -f /usr/bin/mail" to find
out.  On Debian-based systems, try "dpkg -S /usr/bin/mail" to get the
package name, and "dpkg -s <pkgname>" to get the details.  From the error
message you gave, I suspect it is mailx.

Have you tried with FORMAT=PLAIN?

You could try setting MAIL and MAILC to use nail or mutt rather than mailx,
if you have them installed, something like this:

MAILC="/usr/bin/nail"

Some folks have had problems with mailx not liking carriage-return
characters.  Using nail should fix this, but this might also work:

MAILC="/usr/bin/tr -d '\\015' | mail"

Are all 3 recipients having the same problem?

Are there any interesting messages in the alert.log file?

What OS are you using, and what mail client and MTA?
