This assumes you are complaining about how the final email looks on the user's screen.
You are ultimately writing an html document, not plain text.
One way to deal with your problem is to switch from html to text. Another is to use html scripting.
You may want to learn very basic html scripting, one site is here:
This particular page deals with an html tag <br>. I cannot tell if you want line breaks
or not but place this tag at the end of each line of text you want displayed in email - each tag makes a line break.
It is up to you to find and use the various tags you require to get a correct format in the email.
Going text only is simpler from the programming point of view. Using /usr/bin/mailx instead of sendmail is also an easier approach.

mail::verify
Mail::Verify(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::Verify(3pm)NAME
Mail::Verify - Utility to verify an email address
SYNOPSIS
use Mail::Verify;
DESCRIPTION
"Mail::Verify" provides a function CheckAddress function for verifying email addresses. First the syntax of the email address is checked,
then it verifies that there is at least one valid MX server accepting email for the domain. Using Net::DNS and IO::Socket a list of MX
records (or, falling back on a hosts A record) are checked to make sure at least one SMTP server is accepting connections.
ERRORS
Here are a list of return codes and what they mean:
0 The email address appears to be valid.
1 No email address was supplied.
2 There is a syntaxical error in the email address.
3 There are no DNS entries for the host in question (no MX records or A records).
4 There are no live SMTP servers accepting connections for this email address.
EXAMPLES
This example shows obtaining an email address from a form field and verifying it.
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use Mail::Verify;
my $q = new CGI;
[...]
my $email = $q->param("emailaddr");
my $email_ck = Mail::Verify::CheckAddress( $email );
if( $email_ck ) {
print '<h1>Form input error: Invalid email address.</h1>';
}
[...]
