periodic emails

Hi,

why do we send all these empty headings for periodic emails or given =
there is
no output to this one can we

1) suppress the empty sections (to me that sounds a bit like a wrong
   return code or something maybe?), and
2) add an option to suppress "empty" periodic emails entirely?

Sample:
-------
Removing stale files from /var/preserve:

Cleaning out old system announcements:

Removing stale files from /var/rwho:

Backup passwd and group files:

Verifying group file syntax:
/etc/group is fine

Security check:
   (output mailed separately)

Checking for denied zone transfers (AXFR and IXFR):

-- End of daily output --
-------

I'd also like to get the hostname out of the headings of the security =
emails
if possible.  It's in the Subject:.  There's no need to have each =
section header
starting differently.  I understand that it would be a POLA problem =
given a lot
of people parse these emails automatically so adding an option for that =
would be
ok with me as well.

Any takers?
