email file to Outlook using fixed font
I have a unix script that emails output from a sql script. Problem is that the email, once received in Outlook, is in a variable width font which misaligns the columns (I assume it picks up the users default font). Is there any way to send the desired fixed-width font to Outlook via mailx or elm? (I think these are the only mail options avaible to me.)
I've seen postings elsewhere that say I can send a command to Outlook converting the email to html, so I assuming I can send some sort of font command also.
Here's the mail command I have now:
cat filename.out | mailx -s "Subject" me@work
I'm a unix dummy, so please provide specifics in your reply.
thx!

SCRIPT-EMAIL(8) System Administration Commands SCRIPT-EMAIL(8)
NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications
DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the
addresses specified in the MAILTO property.
PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API,
script configuration.
MAILTO
List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property:
property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com"
EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to
the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require
notification.
define script-tool pre-email {
comment "email me before this DLE is backed up"
plugin "script-email"
execute-on pre-dle-backup
execute-where server
property "mailto" "amanda"
}
define dumptype user-tar-email {
user-tar
script "pre-email"
}
