i tried with send mail as well, same results. will look for alternatives.
You aren't quoting $OUTPUT, causing the shell to flatten it(convert all linefeeds into spaces, etc). Try echo "$OUTPUT"

Otherwise, you'll need to tell us how, exactly, it's "not working", and tell us in more detail than you've been telling us before. If you'd mentioned email at all before, I could have warned you how Microsoft Outlook tends to ignore all formatting and impose its own unless you enclose all text in one big <PRE> ... </PRE> block.
