sending mail through mailx

while trying to send a mail, though the output file doesn't contain any exclamatory mark(!), i am getting that in the mail with an extra line. please help me out from this ASAP.

What is the command you are using to send the email? What is the attachment file. Etc....
I cannot think of anything that woudl create an exclamation point, but...

the command i am using is :

milx -s "Servers list" ${MAIL_ID} < $MAILFILE

MAIL_ID was defined with actual email id and MAILFILE contains list of the servers having login problems.

In the mail, at the eighth line iam getting an exclamatory mark and a new line which were not there in actual MAILFILE.

oops.. sorry..

it was not milx.. its "mailx"..
