Limiting notification message size

[Saletan, Jesse]

Thanks, I didn't realize it would be that simple.  I created some new notification commands (e.g., notify-by-sms160) that are very bare bones and they're working well.

See the example configs.  The only significant difference between the
"notify-by-email" commands and the "notify-by-epgaer" ones are the
formatting.  You should be able to either tweak one of those to get
shorter messages, or get an idea how to make your own.
