Just tested for you:

Do i need to make any changes it's not working for me. email is coming out as empty. I made a executable(755) file called ux2dos in my bin directory. I changed the script to below.

Code:
echo "Provider:"$PROVIDER", Uninum:"$UNINUM", Extract Date:"$EXTRACT_DT", Loading Status:"$PROCESS_STATUS"" \
             >> "${LOG_DIR}"/StageLoadEmailBody

done
(cat ${LOG_DIR}/StageLoadEmailBody) | ux2dos | /bin/mailx -s "Provider File Loaded Successfully" "${EMAIL_LIST}"

Try like this
Code:
\cat $LOG_DIR/StageLoadEmailBody | \ux2dos | \/bin/mailx -s "Provider File Loaded Successfully" "${EMAIL_LIST}"

The email body is coming out as empty..I am using bash and dos2unix is in ksh. is that causing the issue?

That script ought to work fine in bash, it and ksh are similar in many ways.

It expects a filename, though. unix2dos filename It will edit the file.

I tried using unix2dos as well, for some reason in the outlook i see spaces between the lines.

---------- Post updated at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:30 PM ----------

I didn't understand and not able to figure out what's happening. when i edit sample.txt file and use a simple command.
Code:
 mailx -s "Test" "xxx@fxxxg.com" <sample.txt

every line is intact. But when i send email with file generated from echo commands and all format options its still not working...i am frustrated.

Code:
Hello Everyone
Is this thing really difficult

---------- Post updated at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:48 PM ----------

Finally, if i remove the commas its working fine i see the expected format in outlook all lines. Do you know why please ?

Code:
     #echo "Provider:"$PROVIDER", Uninum:"$UNINUM", Extract Date:"$EXTRACT_DT", Loading Status:"$PROCESS_STATUS"" \
        #>> "${LOG_DIR}"/StageLoadEmailBody
        echo "Provider:$PROVIDER Uninum:$UNINUM Extract Date:$EXTRACT_DT Loading Status:$PROCESS_STATUS" >> "${LOG_DIR}"/StageLoadEmailBody
        #echo -e "\r">> "${LOG_DIR}"/StageLoadEmailBody
done
(cat "${LOG_DIR}/StageLoadEmailBody") | /bin/mailx -s "Provider File Loaded Successfully" "${EMAIL_LIST}"

probably outlook intelligently treating comma as continuation of paragraph hence wrapping up the lines ..quite a ride
Thank you
