Hello,

So we have a custom alert setup to check for (temperature) changes within another file.

It seems hobbit is sending out the alert only as a .bin (or .dat) attachment. from the archives, another user is having this problem: (it seems I cannot link the URL) but basically: "This is due to carriage returns not being stripped from certain alert output (like HTTP or CPU status from Windows machines). The 'mail' command does not know how to deal with this and will not send properly."

this is happening for just a few alerts. is there another way of getting this fixed besides piping the alert through the mail command manually? I have had no luck doing this.

I am also noticing this for other standard alerts also. Is there anything in the hobbit code or configuration that can be done about this?

thanks Tom.
