[hobbit] Hobbit sending HTML emails?

[Scheblein, Adam]

There is a way to make your mail program send html e-mails, however, if
you check your version to make sure it has the -a, then under the mail
variable, set it to be (and it shouldn't matter if you use mail or
mailx):

mailx -a "Content-type: text/html;"

Unless you changed something special in your setup, Hobbit handles
all alerts as plain text, and just feeds them into your local "mail"
utility.

I'm 99% sure this is an external add-on test that generates a status
in HTML format.
