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.
The alert below is an example of how the emails I'm getting look, with bare HTML tags in the message.
I'm 99% sure this is an external add-on test that generates a status in HTML format.
