mail headers in alerts

[Anna Jonna Armannsdottir <annaj (at) hi.is>]

Hi all. 
It seems to be difficult to find any information about configuring 
headers in the alert messages sent by hobbit. 
in the file hobbitserver.cfg there are some lines that define the 
mail command: 
# For the hobbitd_alert module
MAILC="mail"				# Command used to send an e-mail with no subject
MAIL="$MAILC -s"				# Command used to send an e-mail with a subject

At our site it is necessary to have a mail header like the following:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

The mail command itself does not seem to facilitate 
headers. 

Maybe someone knows about a sendmail wrapper that 
has a mail like interface. Unfortunately I do not know about 
the interface of the mail program, so I am not going to 
write this wrapper.
