Hi Nagios developers,

I found that Nagios 2.10 remove Japanese message from
notification e-mail.

I read your code and I found it is filtering out non-ASCII
characters in clean_macro_chars(). Could you apply the
following patch to your code?

----------
diff -r -c nagios-2.10-orig/base/utils.c nagios-2.10/base/utils.c

***************
*** 4090,4096 ****

for(y=0,x=0;x<len;x++){

! ch=(int)macro[x];

/* illegal ASCII characters */
if(ch<32 || ch==127)
--- 4090,4097 ----

for(y=0,x=0;x<len;x++){

! /* ch=(int)macro[x]; */
! ch=macro[x] & 0xff;

/* illegal ASCII characters */
if(ch<32 || ch==127)
----------

We can use non-ASCII characters with this patch. I think it
is useful for Nagios users who use character encoding which
depends on MSB.

I appreciate if you apply it in the next release.
