For the alert message, Hobbit just includes the text that was sent to it 
in the status message. So if you have a custom script like bbmrtg which
sends you an html formatted status, you'll get html in the alert.

If you prefer to get alerts as plain text, I'd suggest that you send
your alerts using an alert script - that will let you filter out any
html formatting codes you'd prefer to avoid.
