[hobbit] BBALPHAMSG for service 'proc', 'disk', etc no line feeds

[Galen Johnson]

I'd be surprised if Hobbit was doing this...if you're using Lookout as your mail reader, see if there is a message about extra line breaks being removed.  There should be a link to re-add them (I've never understood why Bill and company felt you would ever want to see your email other than how it eas sent).

Is there a way to get hobbit to send the BBALPHAMSG variable formatted
with line feeds so it appears in an email the way it does on the web page?

I guess what I am trying to say is that would be much easier to read
this in an email report:

--[snip]--
server.domain.tld:procs yellow [584104]

yellow Sun Mar 30 10:53:38 EDT 2008 - Processes NOT ok

green arkeiad (found 1, req. between 1 and 1)
green ntpd (found 1, req. between 1 and 1)
green apache2 (found 8, req. 1 or more)
green cron (found 1, req. 1 or more)
red   syslog-ng (found 1, req. 1 or more)
green sshd (found 3, req. 1 or more)
green slapd (found 1, req. 1 or more)

  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
    1 ?        S      0:01 init [3]
    2 ?        S      0:00 [migration/0]
    3 ?        SN     0:00 [ksoftirqd/0]
    4 ?        S      0:00 [migration/1]
--[snip]--


as opposed to what I am seeing for a proc report in an email:

--[snip]--
server.domain.tld:procs yellow [584104] yellow Sun Mar 30 10:53:38 EDT

00:00:00 0.0 0 0 [migration/1]
--[snip]--

I see similarly unformatted reports for disk partitions.


Since there is nothing really to queue off of in the globbed together
BBALPHAMSG variable, it is also impossible for me to use sed/awk to
manipulate it and format it before emailing..

Any thoughts or comments?  Did I miss something obvious?

Thanks!
