Thanks for this link, but I've changed the default mailformat already. 
It looks like this:

set mail-format {
  from: address@hidden
  subject: $SERVICE $EVENT at $DATE
  message: $EVENT $SERVICE at $DATE on $HOST
}

But that doesn't solve my problem :-(.

The question is, what causes the last line in the example above:

Event: 'foo.tld' failed, cannot open a connection to
INET[www.foo.tld:80]

I think this can't be triggered via the mail-format settings. This line 
is insertet with a line break in the alert and this line break and the 
following text is ignored by the mail2sms gateway. So the sms looks like 
this:

Connection test failed foo.tld at Fri, 25 Mar 2005 05:29:48 +0100 on
bar.tld

The line with the event gets lost :-(. I have to avoid line breaks in 
the alerts, that would solve the problem. Or 

BTW.: The $ACTION variable doesn't work with my monit version too :-(. 
It causes a syntax error. Is this a known problem and is it fixed in 
newer releases?
