[Xymon] html_mail.pl help

Joe,

I can't follow what the problem is.

The script gets called from the alerts.cfg file via the SCRIPT keyword.
The hosts it applies to will be determined by the alerts.cfg file rules.
The recipient for e-mails is specified by the RCPT environment variable
when the script is called.

Without the old and new config to compare, I can't help any further.

The environment variable names have not changed that I know of, but I
haven't used it with 4.3.x myself yet.

I've CCed to the xymon list which is a better place to get general help.

David.
