<DIV>Hi</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a problem getting my status detail sent (correctly) via email. Let me explain. If I look at Nagios self and I look at the status detail for a printer that I monitor I see the following, which is correct BTW:</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=3 face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><A href='mailto:service@kyocera.co.za?subject=Toner%20Order&body=Hi%20Nadia%0A%0AModel:%20KM-C3225%0AAsset#:%20"UAD6X01096"%0AMono:%2088108%20Colour:%20148705%0AColour%20Required:%20Magenta%0A%0ARegards%0AAndre'>service@kyocera.co.za?subject=Toner%20Order&body=Hi%20Nadia%0A%0AModel:%20KM-C3225%0AAsset#:%20"UAD6X01096"%0AMono:%2088108%20Colour:%20148705%0AColour%20Required:%20Magenta%0A%0ARegards%0AAndre</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you copy and paste that link into word and you click it you will see that it populates the entire email for you and you just have to hit send. Now when this service goes into critical (like I have done here to test) it send me an email, but this is where the problem comes in. When I get my email the "&" is missing from the above link and then it does not work properly. Somewhere Nagios removes it and I have no clue where. I have sent a test mail from a shell on my Nagios machine as follows:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>/usr/bin/printf "Body Text" | /bin/mail -s "Subject" <A href="mailto:andre.kruger@trw.com">andre.kruger@trw.com</A>.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When I receive this mail it still has the "&" in the body. So I am making the assumption that somewhere between Nagios and Postfix when it send the notification the "&" is removed. Can somebody please shed some light on this?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards</DIV>
