Yes, try putting it in single quotes like --

# 'notify-by-epagerusingmutt' command definition (short form)
define command{
command_name    notify-by-muttpager-short
command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Service: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost:
$HOSTNAME$\n$HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState:
$SERVICESTATE$\nInfo: '$SERVICEOUTPUT$'\nDate:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\n\nUser:$CONTACTNAME$" | /usr/bin/mutt -F
/etc/nagios/muttrc.cfg -e 'set realname=""' -s "`echo $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$
| /usr/bin/cut -c '1-3'`: $HOSTNAME$/$SERVICEDESC$ $SERVICESTATE$"
$CONTACTPAGER$ 2>&1 | logger -p mail.info
}
