Earlier you mentioned it worked from the commandline with the -a flags combined, can you try the following
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/printf "%b" "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress:$HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\nDuration: $HOSTDURATION$\nAlias: $HOSTALIAS$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$ \n" | /usr/bin/mail -s "**SITE1 $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$" -a "'From: someone <some@mail.com>'; Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" $CONTACTEMAIL$

I'm not sure if I am going down the correct path here, but can you show the output of
Code: Select all
su nagios -c 'env|grep LANG'
su nagios -c 'locale'

I just tested this on a freshly setup Debian 9 system running Nagios Core 4.4.5 with the command above as the only host notification handler and when I took the host down with the following text as the message:
Code: Select all
Здрасти, това тук е тестов текст на кирилица, изпратен от NAGIOS CGI.
I received the following email as expected
Code: Select all

I just opened the text file for the message in vi
