I use a custom script to send emails and I had that problem as well. What I
do prior to sending the email via the custom script is parse out the HTML
using sed. It replaces the <BR> tag with a newline and removes all other
items that are in the format "<anything>".

BBALPHAMSG=`echo -e "$BBALPHAMSG" | sed -e 's/<BR[^>]*>/\n/'g -e
's/<[^>]*>//g'`

As a side note I use SMS format to my mobile via text (that is, being on
Verizon user-d9a687bc666a@xymon.invalid).  Works quite well.

Also, I'm sending this data as EMAIL to pagers, phone, mail accounts.
 SMS format may not even be needed since I'm altering the standard output to
fit our needs.

Doesn't the format=sms strip the subject from the email?
