To send mail with same format as in file

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

I want to send the content in same format as it is in file.

#!/bin/sh
cat /usr/test/abc  > /usr/test/abc/file
if [ -s /usr/test/abc/file ]
then
MAILTO=test@yahoo.com
CONTENT="/usr/test/abc/file"
(
echo "Subject: TEST "
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
echo "Content-Type: text/html"
cat $CONTENT
) | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t $MAILTO
else
echo "bbb"
fi

I dont want to attch the file but it want to cat the content and send them in same format example

if file has data..

 
Asia 5.2
Europe 7.2
North America 5.5

than the mail should have the same format as

 
Asia 5.2 2.1
Europe 7.2 4.1
North America 5.5 1.1

but my program is giving output as

 
Asia 5.2 2.1 Europe 7.2 4.1 North America 5.5 1.1

Change the Content-Type to text/plain and re-try:

echo "Content-Type: text/plain"

Sounds like a cr/lf (carriage return & line feed) issue common when sharing files between unix and other systems.
There are utilities that will correct for this.

Also, I know that I sometimes get different views of the same unix-created file if I open with Windows Notepad or Wordpad.

Use awk to skip the first line and print:

awk 'NR>1' filename

Or use awk to remove line containing pattern gzip

awk '!/gzip/' filename
