Because Nagios is stripping HTML characters out of the $SERVICEOUTPUT$ 
macro for security reasons (and rightly so, since the 
notify-service-by-email command is directly echoing its contents to a 
command line string).  This is resulting in the HTML link that we've 
embedded in the $SERVICEOUTPUT$ from a custom plugin getting broken in 
our email alerts.

I figured that by replacing the command line string with a call to the 
(slightly customized) HTML e-mail plugin I might be able to get the HTML 
links working again.
