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

Code:
#!/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

Not sure I understand
There are many posts on this site referring to sending mail with attachments. Such as:
https://www.unix.com/unix-dummies-que...ll-script.html

Also, use the Search function on the main toolbar to look for more.

Mail format should be same as the format in file
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..

Code:
 
Asia 5.2
Europe 7.2
North America 5.5

than the mail should have the same format as

Code:
 
Asia 5.2 2.1
Europe 7.2 4.1
North America 5.5 1.1


but my program is giving output as

Code:
 
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:
Code:
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:
Code:
awk 'NR>1' filename

Or use awk to remove line containing pattern gzip
Code:
awk '!/gzip/' filename
