A few ideas for the mail.alert:

1. the mon description field is often more helpful than
   Group/Service information. It should be included in
   the mail body (depending on environment I often would
   prefer to have it as a subject)

2. I have never seen the "Secs until next alert" filled.
   (or am I doing something wrong). Can't it go away
   completely.

3. It would be nice to have a configuration option
   (mon.cf) to set the "From:" and "Reply-To:" headers
   to some helpful value for administrative e-mail
   communication.
