This doesn't look bad to me, it seems to simply be using lots of
Macro$ so I assume that the macro must be sending it something funny....
Will have to scratch my head and try to track that down.
You -did- notice that to printf "\b" is a backspace, right? Which
would totally explain what you're seeing...
err, I think that is the notation for a backslash escaped sequence, not
a backspace character, which is \b.
It turns out that the points at which I am getting those strange squares
is actually replacing "\\" and "\" in \\hostname\sharename.
So I know where the problem is and what part needs fixing, but I have
tried to recreate it on the command line but the message never comes
through to me to fully diagnose.
eg..
echo '\\hostname\sharename' | mail -s "test" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
but I haven't gotten this. Strange, that now I'm not getting messages
from /bin/mail. Will have to look into this and get back to you.

ok, after looking at my mail server the problem was the oh so brilliant
thunderbird client. sorted. now back to the original problem...
I've fixed the character issue in the notifications with
\\hostname\sharename. The problem lies with the %b in the printf
statement. I changed this to %q. Remember that the system's printf is
superseded by the shell built-in. Any way, the %q defines that the
argument list is appropriately formatted for shell reuse which is
exactly the was that it is being used in the mail pipe for this
notification functionality.
Thanks for the help, you've given me the jolt I needed.
