Nagios email notifications, newline not getting interpreted ?

[James]

Howdy,
Trying to get rolling with Nagios for the first time. Installed version
1.2 on new FC1 linux server from RPM by Dag.  Configured things to the
point that nagios would start cleanly.  Installed lastest version of
nagmin, think I pointed things to the right folder.

Well here's the thing, Nagios is sending out email notifications but the
message come through as one string like this:
""*****""Nagios""*****nnNotification""Type:""PROBLEMnHost:""nagnState:""UPnAddress:""10.1.0.124nInfo:""HTTP""WARNING:""HTTP/1.1""403""ForbiddennnDate/Time:""Thu""Mar""25""11:45:57""EST""2004n""
This is what my host-notify-by-email looks like:
 /usr/bin/printf \"%b\" \"***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $OUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n\" | /bin/mail
-s \"Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!\" $CONTACTEMAIL$ 

Also the above message try to go to alert at mydomain.com, for at mydomain.com
and myaddress at mydomain.com.  It's like quotes and newlines are being
ignored.

This appeared to happen after adding nagmin to the mix.  After comparing
old configs to new configs I see where one config uses echo and one uses
printf.

Anybody seen anything like this before.

Thanks.
