Any other ideas?
Thanks for letting us know your actual problem.

The character set of the email has little to do with the character set of the system, by the way. You need to use MIME types to tell the email client the incoming data is UTF8 and not ASCII.

Yes, that is UTF-8.
I changed the locale again and now somethings are working.

Let me try to explain it better.
Right now I have this script:
Code:
...
cat <<EOF > $MESSAGE_FILE
Prezado(a) $NOME,

Usuário: $NAME
Celular : $PHONE
Valor : R$ $VALOR
Mes de Referencia: $REFERENCIA

Você está recebendo esta notificação por estar em desacordo com a política de uso de celulares vigente da XXXX, no Brasil.  
O gasto mensal do seu celular está acima do previsto pela política. 
Sugerimos que abra um chamado no help desk (8080) para que possamos adequar seus planos de voz e /ou dados à sua necessidade.

A política vigente encontra-se na página web:

Atenciosamente,

IT Networks & Telecom

EOF

cat $MESSAGE_FILE | mailx -a "From: notreply@XXXX.com" notreply@XXXX.com -b AAAAA@XXXX.com -s "Uso de Celular Excedido em $REFERENCIA / Cell Phone Use Exceeded in $REFERENCIA"
...

If I create a test file that have the previous text and try the command line to send me the e-mail, the e-mail looks great, however when I run the script, the e-mail that I receive is broken:

Code:
Usuáo:
Celular : Linha
Valor : R$ DDD
Mes de Referencia: Commercial


Vocêstáecebendo esta notificaç por estar em desacordo com a políca
de uso de celulares vigente da XXXXX, no Brasil.  O gasto mensal do seu
celular estácima do previsto pela políca. Sugerimos que abra um chamado
no help desk (8080) para que possamos adequar seus planos de voz e /ou dados
àua necessidade.

Any ideias?

In what way is it 'broken'? I can't see much wrong with it, except the R$, which I don't think ever worked.

some graphic accents are missing, not the "ç" but all the others are.

Should be:
Você está recebendo esta notificação por estar em desacordo com a política de uso de celulares vigente da XXXX, no Brasil.

It is showing in the Inbox of the user:
Vocêstáecebendo esta notificaç por estar em desacordo com a políca de uso de celulares vigente da XXXXX, no Brasil.

The R$ is loaded with the rest of the script. Don't worry about it.

RESOLVED
After the change of the locales the text in the script wasn't fixed so I had to update it manually and after that it worked.

Thank you in advance.
