Question Sending formatted email from unix.
Hi All,

I need to send email from unix in the below format. But the email body is coming all in one single line.
How do i format the below text, so that the body of email is properly formatted.
Please help.

Code:
TO:  <email id>
CC:  <none>
BCC: <none>
Subject: Support: file GENERATION is SUCCESSFUL for <FILE TYPE> (Environment: <PROD>)
Body:
Dear Support Team,

This email is to inform you that the Gatekeeper file that is mentioned in subject line is generated successfully today.


Please do not use the reply button, as this is a system mailbox that is not monitored.

Thank You.

You could use the fmt command, but I don't think this is neccessary as the receiver's mail client will wrap the lines according to his/her needs
