You can change the last line to this:
Code:
tail -$(grep -n  date +"%d %b" /var/log/scriptlog.log | head -1 |awk -F: '{ print $1 }') /var/log/scriptlog.log | mail -s ... bla bla ..

Please change it .. if you find that I have not too complicated it ... the idea is

grep -n .. show me the line numbers of where is today date is
head -1 ... give me only one date ... just incase your php script also decide to put in date ..
awk -F ... now get only the number ... you could use cut or something .. I like awk ..

tail ... the starting one .. -<number> will get me from there to end of the file.

pipe mail bla bla ... same as earlier ...

So I get only lines from today's date till end and get mailed to me ... About formatting of the email ... is it your mail client misbehaving ? or do you check mail directly from /var/spool/mail/<userid> ... or whereever you mail is stored ..

CALENDAR(1)						      General Commands Manual						       CALENDAR(1)

NAME
calendar - reminder service SYNOPSIS
calendar [ - ] DESCRIPTION
Calendar consults the file `calendar' in the current directory and prints out lines that contain today's or tomorrow's date anywhere in the line. Most reasonable month-day dates such as `Dec. 7,' `december 7,' `12/7,' etc., are recognized, but not `7 December' or `7/12'. On weekends `tomorrow' extends through Monday. When an argument is present, calendar does its job for every user who has a file `calendar' in his login directory and sends him any posi- tive results by mail(1). Normally this is done daily in the wee hours under control of cron(8). FILES
calendar /usr/lib/calendar to figure out today's and tomorrow's dates /etc/passwd /tmp/cal* egrep, sed, mail subprocesses SEE ALSO
at(1), cron(8), mail(1) BUGS
Your calendar must be public information for you to get reminder service. Calendar's extended idea of `tomorrow' doesn't account for holidays. CALENDAR(1)
