cat a file starting with ~|

helo all

I have a file where lines start with ~|.
Given a sample line-> ~|21|123|1232|ABC|2135....
So when i use the command

-----cat $file | mailx -s "Rejects : $envid" $recip.dat------

When unix cats the file which holds lines starting with ~| it seems to be it takes those lines as commands and starts putting them on screen.This is upto my Assumption.But donno what happens exactly

So when the command is executed
I get the following warning messages on the screen...

/usr/bin/ksh: 21: not found.
/usr/bin/ksh: 123: not found.
/usr/bin/ksh: 1232: not found.
/usr/bin/ksh: ABC: not found.
/usr/bin/ksh: 2135: not found.

If anyone can help me out in getting these warnings move out, that would be great...

Thanks
KenJo
