Re: [monit] mail format for resource succeeded messages...

[Martin Pala]

OK, thanks - the template seems to be used, since the first part of the 
email corresponds to the template, but the mail body is maybe not 
interpreted correctly.

There was bug in transfer-encoding header which was fixed in cvs already 
(will be fixed in monit-5.0 final release):

--8<--
* Fix mail transfer encoding header - the message like:
    cpu wait usage check succeeded [current cpu wait usage=17.4%]
  was displayed in email as "...usage<SOMEGARBAGE>.4%". The problem was
  incorrect transfer encoding header (the body itself was OK).
--8<--

Please can you view the message source in the email client to verify 
that the body is full?

You can also verify using cvs source (or wait for final release):
http://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=monit

Or just fix beta7 source code:
