^^^^^--- Is that 2nd line to supposed to be there or is this an IFS issue on
my end?  Either way, it appears just like that with the second line starting
with the&  and it also appears to be truncated at the 2nd "H" in HIGH


What is the format of the BBALPHAMSG supposed to look like (eg: the format and
list of fields) when FORMAT=SMS so I know what I am looking for as we move
forward?
The SMS format should be like this:

HOSTNAME:TESTNAME COLOR [ACK-COOKIE]

followed by any lines in the status message that begin with "&red", 
"&yellow" or "&purple".

It would be interesting to see the full status message. Could you run 
this command while some of the alerts happen:

   xymoncmd xymond_channel --channnel=page cat >/var/tmp/alertfeed.txt

and then pick out one or more of the problem alert messages and send to me ?


Thanks,
Henrik
