Hi hanson44,
Karthi provided sample output showing exactly the format of the message wanted.
However, Karthi did not say what OS is being used. And, has been stated in this forum dozens (if not hundreds) of times before, you should never use echo if any operand contains a backslash character nor if any argument starts with a minus sign if you want to use your script on different systems. The replacement script I provided replaces the non-portable echo commands with portable printf commands and should produce mail messages in the stated format without the need for a temp file.
As far as why Karthi got a single line of output, I don't know. Even on a system that treats -n as a request to skip the trailing newline and does not translate \n to a newline, there still should have been two lines of output rather than one.

NAME
reporter-mailx - Sends contents of a problem directory via email.
SYNOPSIS
reporter-mailx [-v] -d DIR [-c CONFFILE]

recipient.

The options are:
Subject
The subject of the email message.
EmailFrom
The sender of the email message.
EmailTo
The recipient of the email message.
SendBinaryData
Use yes/true/on/1 to attach all binary files from the problem directory to the email. This can cause the emails to be very large.

in /etc/libreport/events.d/mailx_event.conf:

It can also be used to notify administrator automatically when a problem happens. When this is desired, modify the event configuration file
to run the tool on the post-create event:
EVENT=post-create reporter-mailx
OPTIONS
-d DIR
Path to problem directory.
-c CONFFILE
