Hi,
You could insert the 'headers' between each cat
Code:
echo "Server A Logs for the day" >> logfile
echo "=========================" >> logfile
cat logfile1 >> logfile
echo "Server B Logs for the day" >> logfile
echo "=========================" >> logfile
cat logfile2 >> logfile
...
cat logfile3 >> logfile

cat logfile | mailx -s 'Server logs for the day' xxx@xxx.com

Or create them as attachments; the mail FAQ section has a script you can use.

PS. That was quite an orgy of useless cats. The purpose of cat is to catenate files. Even though it doesn't work, I need to point out that the Useful way to write your original command would have been

Code:
cat logfile1 logfile2 logfile3 logfile4 | mailx -s 'Server logs for the day' xxx@xxx.com
