What do you mean by formating? If you want to send that mail in html format, use the header option (-a) like this:
Code:
mail -s "test txt" -a "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" eamil.address@host.com

formating means, that the mail should like this:

Code:
Sun Sep 27 21:30:01 CEST 2009
Script Scriptname
Script1 was read - Success
Script2 was read - Success
Script3 was read - Success
Script4 was read - Success
Script5 was read - Success

... and not like this:

Code:
Script Scriptname
Script1 was read - Success Script2 was read - Success Script3 was read - Success Script4 was read - Success Script5 was read - Success

It's strange. If the format is ok in your log file, it should also be ok when you pipe the output into the mail command. I have tried to reproduce your problem but the formating seems correct.

Code:
$ cat testmail.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo -n "Sript 1 was read -"
echo  "Success"

echo -n "Sript 2 was read -"
echo  "Success"

Code:
$ ./testmail.sh | mail -s "test mail" address@host.com

Code:
Message 22:
From ******@****.be Mon Sep 28 16:05:08 2009

Sript 1 was read -Success
Sript 2 was read -Success

Maybe something in your mail client? Or try forcing the Content-type to text.
