All outgoing messages in Network Monitor can include formatting variables in the text of the message.
Email messages can also contain special formatting codes known as BB codes that can be used to improve the look of the mail.
BB codes
BB codes are a semi-standard used by many forum systems to format messages without the need of embedding HTML. It works similar to HTML, having a start and an end tag, and supports nested tags. BB codes are translated to HTML for all users that have selected to receive emails from Network Monitor in either the HTML or Simple HTML format. Users that have selected to receive plain text messages will have the BB codes stripped out from their messages.

Format Variables
Format flags are used to expand information in messages before they are processed and sent to their recipient. Most of these flags are context sensitive. For example, the flag %[monitor.error] expands the latest alarm report for the monitor triggering the action, and would not be expanded into anything if used in a Send mail scheduled event.
