Your date format is missing the month; I think you want:
Code:
msgdate=`date +"%a, %e %b %Y %T %z"`

$CONTENT

Why are you using cat? Assign the string directly:
Code:
daemail="From: $from
To: $emailtarget
Subject: $subject
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
Content-Disposition: inline
$priority

$CONTENT"

Code:
echo "$daemail" > msg.tmp
echo  >> msg.tmp
email=`cat msg.tmp`
echo "$email" | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t

If i want to send hi.csv as a attachment..how should the code be modified.
can someone help me which the code.

If you want to use sendmail, you'll have to uuencode the attachment.

I find the easiest way to send attachments in a script is to use alpine or mutt.

NAME

       apticron - Generate a mail listing packages which are pending an upgrade

SYNOPSIS

       apticron [--cron]

DESCRIPTION

       apticron is a shell script which generates a mail with a list of all packages currently pending an upgrade, as well as summary of changes -
       using apt-listchanges - to a configurable Email address.

       apticron is mainly intended for automatic notification of pending security updates but can also be used	in  many  other  situations  where
       timely updates are necessary.

       The --cron option is only meant to be used when invoked by cron in order to run no more than once a day.

FILES

       /etc/apticron/apticron.conf
	      Configuration file, Email address to mail and profile for use with apt-listchanges are configurable.

       /etc/cron.d/apticron
	      Cron job for executing apticron daily.

       /etc/cron.daily/apticron
	      Fallback cron script for executing apticron (if no crond running or system down at designated time).

       /var/lib/misc/apticron.cron
	      Time stamp file used by apticron when invoked with --cron option.
