Just edit your host/service notify by email commands. They're basically
print statements sent to /bin/mail. Here's an example --

# 'service-notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    service-notify-by-email
        command_line    /bin/echo -e "Subject: Service $SERVICEDESC$
$SERVICESTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!\n\n***** Nagios
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState:
$SERVICESTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nInfo:
$OUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n" | /bin/mail -s '**
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$
**' $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

You'll need to restart nagios after making any modifications.
