IBM Script output in Email is not showing Colored headers
Hi All

I am working on AIX 7.1 and I am trying to show an output that I get from "cat" a log file to email. However in email I get the below output:

Code:
 [32m
=====================================
>>>>> Server Name, Date, UPtime <<<<<
=====================================
 [0m
Date :- Tue Aug 25 15:00:00 BST 2015

In the script I have defined the colors as:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo "\033[32m
=====================================
>>>>> Server Name, Date, UPtime <<<<<
====================================="
echo "\033[0m"
echo "Date :- `date`"
echo " "

Below is the script I have created to send this output:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
/var/log/test > /var/log/test.log
cat /var/log/test.log | sendmail example@bob.com


I have checked numerous threads on this forum about making sure I have right html editor and making sure the variables are defined correctly.
I have ran several scripts to try and get this to work but I am prompted with the same output.

Can anyone help?

PS. I am new to scripting.

lr_log2mail

LR_LOG2MAIL.IN(1)					  LogReport's Lire Documentation					 LR_LOG2MAIL.IN(1)

NAME

       lr_log2mail - send a report generated from a log file by email

SYNOPSIS

       lr_log2mail [options] service addresses...

       lr_log2report --version

       lr_log2report --help [dlf-converters|output-formats|report-templates]

OPTIONS

       --help [section]
	   If no argument is given, prints usage information and exits. Argument can be one of the following:

	   dlf-converters
	       Prints the list of available DLF converters and exits.

	   output-formats
	       Prints the list of available output formats and exits.

	   report-templates
	       Prints the list of available report templates and exits.

       --version
	   Prints Lire's version and exits.

       --output-format|-o output format
	   Selects the ouput format in which to generate the report.

       --template name
	   Uses the report configuration named name to generate the report.

       --log-file logfile
	   Selects the log file that should be processed instead of STDIN.

       --subject|-s subject
	   Sets the subject of the email message. Defaults to 'Your format report'.

       --extra-file file
	   An additional text file that will be sent along the report. If the output format is txt, it will be appended to the report.

DESCRIPTION

       The lr_log2mail command is similar to the lr_log2report(1) command with the difference that the report is sent by email. The log file is
       read from STDIN or from the file specified using the --log-file option. The format of the log file is specified using the dlf_converter
       argument. Use the --help-dlf-converters option to get a list of all currently available DLF converters. All remaining arguments are
       interpreted as email addresses to which to send the report. In case the log is passed in a compressed format, it's uncompressed on the fly,
       using gzip(1).

       The report will be encapsulated in a MIME email appropriate for the output format. For example, ASCII reports will be sent inline, PDF
       reports will be sent as a file attachment and HTML reports should appear inline in a HTML-capable mail reader.

       The From and Reply-To headers in the outgoing emails are set to the values of the lr_mail_from and lr_mail_replyto configuration variables.

EXAMPLE

	% lr_log2mail -s "bind8 report" bind8_query 
	    root "Joe User <joe@example.com>" < /var/log/query.log
