notify-by-email

[Volker.Aust at premiere.de]

Hi Tom,

what is the result when you change 'printf' to 'echo -e' (without the
quotes)? Does it helps when you include "%b" (with the quotes) between
'printf' and the rest of the line (this only function if the debian 'printf'
supports %b in the format string)?
