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.

Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this method where it should. This message means that
some other related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does not. Probably you should investigate this and
probably inform the author of the package.
