Well, without seeing your specific host, service and notify commands and a sample notification email, it's going to be hard to diagnose further. This functionality is very stable within nagios itself (i.e. it's very unlikely that it's a bug) and is more likely the result of a formatting error or the use of some unusual character in a definition somewhere. Also, since we're relying on other components of the OS like /bin/mail, OS vendor and version information might prove useful as well for vendor specific implementation issues. Finally, as the footer says --

::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. 
::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
