if you include the table output in td it will consider it in one column..
I consider you are extracting data from Oracle DB? IF yes please read below article

Generating HTML Reports from SQL*Plus

---------- Post updated at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous update was at 03:52 PM ----------

to add....
save below in a file say mail_body
From: TTS.OO.Monitoring.Operations
Subject: Error
X-Mailer: htmlmail 1.0
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII

loginto sqlplus -s user/password
SET MARKUP HTML ON SPOOL ON
spool mail_body append
run the query
exit

cat mail_body|sendmail <to address>

try something like below.. alter this to add table structure color etc..

Code:
 
awk -F"|" 'BEGIN{print "<table border=\"1\">"} NR%2{print "<tr>";for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)print "<td>" $i"</td>";print "</tr>"} END{print "</table>"}'  filename

here filename is the one which contains your table data

Let me try to help you.

Step 1:
Use try it yourself editor
Write your html code and see whether you receive the desired output

Step 2:
Once you confirm that Output is fine, use sendmail or mutt to send the HTML content . I prefer sendmail and here is an example

Code:
( echo "From: Mohana@XXX.com"
echo "To: Lakshmi@YYY.com"
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
echo "Content-Type: text/html"
echo "Subject: This is a test mail"
echo ""
cat my_content.html) |/usr/sbin/sendmail -t

Coming to your problem, you have specified newline is not working. Please make a note that you are writing a html code and <br> is the tag for new line.

Hope this will help you.
