Sendmail ignoring line endings
Mails from Sendmail are ignoring line endings, when I try to send email with attachment. I have tried to specify the font in the html but line endings are still ignored. I also tried unix2dos, still no luck.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
###Send Email
MAILTO=`cat mail2.list | tr -s '\n' ','`
SUBJECT="bla bla bla"
SENDER=$(nawk -F= 'tolower($0) ~ /emailsender/{print $2;exit;}' param.txt)
ATTACH="filename.txt"
(
 echo "Subject: $SUBJECT"
 echo "From: $SENDER"
 echo "To: $MAILTO"
 echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
 echo 'Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="-q1w2e3r4t5"'
 echo
 echo '---q1w2e3r4t5'
 echo "Content-Type: text/html"
 echo "Content-Disposition: inline"
 echo '<HTML><BODY><PRE>'
 cat report.txt
 echo '</PRE></BODY></HTML>'
 echo '---q1w2e3r4t5'
 echo 'Content-Type: application; name="'$(basename $ATTACH)'"'
 echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: uuencode"
 echo 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'$(basename $ATTACH)'"'
 uuencode $ATTACH $(basename $ATTACH)
 echo '---q1w2e3r4t5--'
) | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t

I can send with monospace font and all lines ending preserved using this (without attachment):
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
###Send Email
MAILTO=`cat mail2.list | tr -s '\n' ','`
SUBJECT="bla bla bla"
SENDER=$(nawk -F= 'tolower($0) ~ /emailsender/{print $2;exit;}' param.txt)
(
 echo "Subject: $SUBJECT"
 echo "From: $SENDER"
 echo "To: $MAILTO"
 echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
 echo "Content-Type: text/html"
 echo "Content-Disposition: inline"
 echo '<HTML><BODY><PRE>'
 cat report.txt
 echo '</PRE></BODY></HTML>'
) | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t

htfuzzy

htdig(1)						      General Commands Manual							  htdig(1)

NAME

       htfuzzy - fuzzy command-line search utility for the ht://Dig search engine

SYNOPSIS

       htfuzzy [-c configfile] [-v] algorithm [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Description to follow here

OPTIONS

       -c configfile
	      Use the specified configfile instead of the default.

       -v     Verbose mode , -vvv
	       etc ). Specifying more than two v's is probably only useful for debugging purposes.

Supported Algorithms
       Different algoritms are supported for searching:
	      soundex  Creates	 a  slightly modified soundex key database. Differences with the standard soundex algorithm are: Keys are 6 digits
	      and the first letter is also encoded.	   metaphone Creates a metaphone key database. This algorithm is more specific to English,
	      but  will  get  fewer  "weird" matches than the soundex algorithm.

	      accents (No description of the algorithm at the moment)

	      endings Creates  two  databases  which  can  be  used  to match common word endings. The creation of these databases requires a list
	      of affix rules and a dictionary which uses those affix rules. The format of the affix  rules and	dictionary   files  are  the  ones
	      used  by	the  ispell program. Included with the distribution are the affix rules for English and a fairly small English dictionary.
	      Other languages can be supported	by  getting  the appropriate affix rules and dictionaries. These are available for many languages;
	      check the ispell distribu- tion for more details.

	      synonyms	Creates a database of synonyms for words. It reads a text database of synonyms and creates a  database	that htsearch  can
	      then use. Each line of the text database consists of words where the first word will have the other words on that line as synonyms.

Notes on searching
       Please consult specialised literature to find out how the different algorithms work or simply try another
	      search stragegy you do not get the intended search results.

FILES

       /etc/htdig/htdig.conf
	      The default configuration file.  /var/lib/htdig/db/db.accents.db (Output) Maps between  characters  with	and  without  accents  for
	      accents  fuzzy  rule  /var/lib/htdig/db/db.metaphone.db  (Output)  Database  of  similar-sounding  words	for  metaphone	fuzzy rule
