I'd be surprised if Hobbit was doing this...
Well, when I was working on my custom email script (mentioned last week), I can see that the $BBALPHAMSG that is handed off to the script by hobbit is exactly what I am seeing in the email, so hobbit is handing it to me (the script) with no formatting, line feeds etc. I guess I was just wondering if there was some setting in the config file(s) to toggle formatting or something similarly simplistic that I might have missed.
Are you wrapping $BBALPHAMSG in double quotes in your script?? If you do something like:
echo $BBALPHAMSG | mailx .....that will strip out the linefeeds. Put quotes around it and you get the message verbatim:
echo "$BBALPHAMSG" | mailx ....
