HTML in status messages works for the most part, but remember that Hobbit confines your messages INTO A TABLE CELL when it lays out the webpages. This may be unnoticeable to you, or it may be a terrible limitation. For example, if you are trying to use stylesheets and javascript to show/hide div's, this won't work within table cells. Admittedly, that's a fairly sophisticated thing to try in a hobbit status message!
It would be nice if Hobbit did not use tables for layout, and went pure stylesheets instead.

thanx. I would prefer the message bodies were sent to the hobbit server. Is there a way of doing that? Also, would the text appear in the hobbit template or just as a regular text page?
The message you send can contain whatever you like, though there are some limitations, given that what you send is embedded inside a web page. You might be able to do some fancy stuff with stylesheets to make things appear and disappear, but I wouldn't want to bet on it that working. Especially if the mail could contain html tags that would interfere with the format.
Whatever message you send is what shows up in the detail page when you click through the colored dot that corresponds to $MACHINE & $TEST.
