how about changing the output format; the top of the emailed report could
contain a digest saying "everything's okay" for those who didn't want to
read through the whole thing, then the rest of the report could have the
usual verbose information.
Then the digest could be made Even More concise, having brief lines like
"disk free space changed" if it had, instead of the whole df output. then,
if you wanted to know what had happened, you look to the rest of the
email. if you want to ignore in certain notifications in the digest, you
can.
