Using Hobbit icons inside your status messages 🔗 link

Is there some "officially condoned" method to get Hobbit icons into your
status messages?
 
Back when using Big Brother, I would just add something like: 
<IMG SRC=/gifs/green.gif ALT=green HEIGHT=16 WIDTH=16 BORDER=0>
to the status message.  I'm sure something similar would work for Hobbit
too.
I was just wondering if there was some built-in auto substitution in
Hobbit that would be cleaner.  Maybe like putting " __GREEN__" inside
the status message.

&green, etc

This is how hobbit reports statuses( mostly ), so it makes it easier to make your checks & alert scripts more generic.

to grab status messages ( perl ):

foreach $line ( split($ENV{BBALPHAMSG},'\n') ) {
    if ( /^&(yellow|red|purple)/ ) {
          # do whatever with $line
    }
}
