I use perl to do this sort of thing. It will create the message using MIME, so you can read it easily in Outlook or another (more secure) modern mail client. PM me or send me email if you could use such code.

NAME
biff - Notifies users when mail arrives
SYNOPSIS
biff [y | n]
DESCRIPTION
The biff command informs the system whether you want to be notified when mail arrives during the current terminal session. The following
command enables notification: biff y
The following command disables notification: biff n
When mail notification is enabled, the From: and Subject: header lines and up to the first five lines of the message are displayed. The
total display is 560 characters, or seven lines terminated by newline characters, whichever occurs first.
The biff y command is often included in the $HOME/.login or $HOME/.profile file to be executed each time you log in.
The biff command operates asynchronously. For synchronous notification, use the MAIL variable of sh or ksh, or the mail variable of csh.
EXAMPLES
To display the current setting, enter: biff To be notified during the current terminal session whenever mail arrives, enter the following
in your $HOME/.login or $HOME/.profile file: biff y
