This is what you are striving for! The reading lines are only reported 
if there is an error. This is somewhat easier to see in the HTML flavor 
of the email when the error reading gets bolded.

In this case, the three temperature readings are flagged. If this 
happens regularly at this time (which is just after sunset at your 
location), then it means that you are cooling off more rapidly than 
expected. This is probably due to local microclimate effects.
