Sendmail with cat adding extra spaces in email body
when I try to read a file and send email using cat and sendmail: The email received having additional spaces.(Between the letters of words in the text)

My code:
Code:
export MAILTO="sa@y.com"

export SUBJECT="mydomain PREPROD MONITOR AT ${DATE}"

export BODY1="/usr/local/oracle/wls1036/domains/mydomain/bin/mydomainmonitor/mydomainmonitor.log"

(

echo "To: $MAILTO"

echo "Subject: $SUBJECT"

echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"

echo "Content-Type:text/html"

echo "Content-Disposition: inline"

cat $BODY1

) | /usr/sbin/sendmail -i $MAILTO

Please let me know why these additional spaces are added. When I check the file I don't see any spaces in there.

Where are the "spaces" appearing?
Can you post an example?

If you could show us how the file looks like and how the output is, we can try to help

For example here is my email body:
Code:
owb005:RUNN ING | Sessions:0 | HoggingThreadCount:0 | ThreadPoolState:HEALTH_OK| HeapFreePercent=71
owb006:RUNNING | Sessions:0 | HoggingThreadCount:0 | ThreadPoolState:HEALTH_OK| HeapFreePercent=22
owb007:RUNNING | Sessions:0 | HoggingThreadCount:0 | ThreadPoolState:HEALTH_OK| HeapFreePercent=45
owb008:RUNNING | Sessions:0 | HoggingThreadCount:0 | ThreadPoolState:HEAL TH_OK| HeapFreePercent=69
owb009:RUNNING | Sessions:0 | HoggingThreadCount:0 | ThreadPoolState:HEALTH_OK| HeapFreePercent=17


you can see space betweeb RUNNING and HEALTH_OK words
