Cron should always set From, To, and Subject:
fprintf(mail, "From: %s (Cron Daemon)\n", usernm);
fprintf(mail, "To: %s\n", mailto);
fprintf(mail, "Subject: Cron <%s@%s> %s\n",
usernm, first_word(hostname, "."),
e->cmd);

It seems to work for me on a PowerEdge 2550 and a PERC 3/Di card.
Putting something like this in cron:
/usr/local/bin/aaccli open /readonly aac0 : enclosure show status : disk show smart : container list /full : diagnostic show text
gives me a whole lot of info back in the email.
