Hi,
I have a shell script which automates reporting and at times, requires the report line to be very long (sometimes as long as 2131 chars). The output I get is similar to this:

This is the version of mailx being used:
$ mailx -V
12.4 7/29/08
Redhat Version
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.7 (Santiago)
This is the syntax used in the mailx command:
ssh <user>@<server> "cat <filename> | mailx -v -s '<subject>' -r 'no-reply@xxx.com' $emailList"
I have noticed that sending the email to a single person works perfectly fine, the line doesn't get wrapped. However, if the email list is extended to a mailing list, I get the output shown above. Any idea what could be the reason? Email is sent as plain text.
