One way to make sure you get the behavior you want is to fix up your own
method, and put the %M where you want the message to go.  This one puts
it in the subject:

Method "msginsubj" {
	command: echo "`uname -n` %O is %S\nTest value is: %v" | mail -s "%M"
%R
}

while this one puts it in the message body:

Method "msginbody" {
	command: echo "%M\n`uname -n` %O is %S\nTest value is: %v" | mail -s
"Argus notification" %R
}

Then add this notify line:

notify: msginsubj:me at example.com msginbody:you at example.com

There are more escape sequences on the
