sending mail using Mailx with data from oracle table

Hi,

i need to send emails to the mail ids i receive using the sql query .

Code:
SELECT L.ALARM_DEF,L.CRITERIA,L.DISTANCE_METRE,L.EMAIL,L.LAC_ID,L.LAST_CHECK,L.RANGE,
L.RESOURCE_MSISDN,LM.ADDRESS,LM.NAME  FROM LANDMARK_ALARM_CONF l, LANDMARK lm 
WHERE L.LANDMARK_ID=LM.LANDMARK_ID AND L.ALARM_STATUS=1 and l.NOTIFY_STATUS is null

i will be getting multiple number of rows of data for this query, and i need to send mail to each row of data with the content received for that row.

sample data
Quote:
ALARM_DEF CRITERIA DISTANCE_METRE EMAIL LAC_ID LAST_CHECK RANGE RESOURCE_MSISDN ADDRESS NAME
went out OUT 146.321857 aemunathan.r@gmail.com 40 16-Apr-10 17:24:01 100 919191919191 HRD OFFICE
Aemu Left the office OUT 1167.764448 41 16-Apr-10 19:12:01 1000 919191919191 HRD OFFICE
vanthuru vanthuru IN 146.321857 l@yahoo.com 39 16-Apr-10 17:24:01 1000 919444008844 HRD OFFICE
i need to send the email to say for e.g aemunathan.r@gmail.com --first row of data......

Code:
echo "content has to be fetched from ALARM_DEF	and append the data of DISTANCE_METRE	 and  LAST_CHECK column  of sql query output" | mailx -r "myname"  -s "value of L.RESOURCE_MSISDN,LM.ADDRESS,LM.NAME appeneded in such a way to form sentence...for e.g $RESOURCE_MSISDN reached the landmark $NAME $ADDRESS at $LAST_CHECK " aemunathan.r@gmail.com

this way i need to snd to all records and update the NOTIFY_STATUS column in my table to 1 once mail sent, so that same mail wont be sent again... .

pls guide me how to proceed...
