Alert Emails Don't Contain the Content of the Alert

[John Davis]

I'm using the NSClient++ instead of NRPE, and it works as expected. The
NXClient is supplying the information correctly for all other service
alerts, and everything comes through as expected in the instant message.
The issue I'm having is that it's not being passed to the email the same
as the IM. I suppose I can just write my own handler from existing Perl
script that handles the jabber IM.
