[hobbit] RE: Hobbit Emails empty

[Josh Luthman]

>From what I understand you're trying to get some details in the email alert,

To be honest I don't really use the email alerts.  I have SMS messages for
the serious stuff, but I use it as a notification and just look at the web
pages.  I use the WML and HTML pages on my phone and computer after the
notification.
