ANSI escape sequences won't highlight colors in anything that's not a terminal. You mentioned HTML, but I see no HTML in your code. It's not about using the right editor, it's about sending text like <font color="red">test</font> instead of ANSI escape sequences.

As an aside, you don't need 2 extra steps, a temporary file, and a cat to email that -- just /var/log/test | sendmail example@bob.com

As another aside, you should never name a command test, there is a real command named test already.

As an aside to the aside, you shouldn't place commands inside /var/log.
