urlize - how to prevent from use in notifications?

[Tedman Eng]

That WAS a serious reply.  It is the method I use in my shop.

The original Nagios munged output you get probably looks something like
this:
A HREF=/nagios/cgi-bin/cgi.cgi?host=somehost: CPU:80 /A

Edit your mail notification command to format however you want, without
<A..../A> tags if your mail reader strips tags.  Do this by inserting a few
sed  or cut commands in there to make $OUTPUT$ look like this:

<A HREF=/nagios/cgi-bin/cgi.cgi?host=somehost> CPU:80 </A>

or this:
CPU:80

A simplified notify-by-email example using the "cut" method:
printf '$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ on host $HOSTALIAS$\n\nMore
info:`echo $OUTPUT$ | cut " " -f 3` | /usr/bin/mail $CONTACTEMAIL$'

HTH,
Tedman
