[Xymon] How can i change the format for e-mail alert.

[Geoff Hallford]

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'`
