Marc/All, 

Where would I look for that information?  I can't seems to find a
"notify-by-email" command to check its inputs, etc.

Take a look at your host/service notify-by-email commands and make sure 
that
they are using whatever flags are necessary to enable interpretation of
escape sequences for your OS. If the commands are using echo, you'll
probably need to add a -e argument to it (i.e. echo -e "***** Nagios
*****\n..."). I believe printf interprets escape sequences properly by
default so you could use that instead of echo -e but you should consult 
the
man pages as both options vary by OS and release.
