Hi,

I have a file with 2 records in two lines. While mailing these two records using mailx command, those two records coming in a single line. I have used the following command to send those records via mail.

Code:

cat filename | mailx -s "subject" mailaddress

There should be nothing changed to the newline character. I just tried it out and both lines are separate. Maybe test it with another mail client - could be that it is displayed different. I am using Thunderbird.
