As was stated repeatedly in your previous thread, cat, mail, mailx, and sendmail do not ignore <newline> characters.
If the people to whom you are sending mail are using mail readers that assumes that all text is HTML, that might be what is changing your <newline>s to <space>s. But I have never seen anything that does what you say is happening.
Unless you have replaced the cat, mail or mailx, and sendmail utilities that were loaded when you installed your BSD, Linux, or UNIX operating system and associated utilities; we all know that none of those utilities is ignoring <newline> characters. Any thread that you start that says otherwise is wasting our time.
