Just another point:

I received the email without subject. Maybe the problem is my "mail" command.

After a notification attempt had been made by nagios, look at the contents of /tmp/host-notify for the command that nagios would have attempted to execute. I am attempting to discern _exactly_ what it is nagios is trying to do when it sends the notification and whether that actually works when you try it manually. There just might be different behavior when the macros get filled with appropriate data that we're missing. It's a stretch but I'm running out of ideas myself.

You must determine from the echo man page (man echo) the command line switch to disable that and add it after '/bin/echo' in the command_line definition. It's probably -E so you would use "/bin/echo -E '/usr/bin/printf..."
