Let me try to help you.

Step 1:
Use try it yourself editor
Write your html code and see whether you receive the desired output

Step 2:
Once you confirm that Output is fine, use sendmail or mutt to send the HTML content . I prefer sendmail and here is an example

Code:
( echo "From: Mohana@XXX.com"
echo "To: Lakshmi@YYY.com"
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
echo "Content-Type: text/html"
echo "Subject: This is a test mail"
echo ""
cat my_content.html) |/usr/sbin/sendmail -t

Coming to your problem, you have specified newline is not working. Please make a note that you are writing a html code and <br> is the tag for new line.

Hope this will help you.
