I have a report generated automatically from a DBMS which in turn gets emailed
to a bunch of guys in the office. The resulting output file is pipe through
the standard Mail command which does the job. This report is when received by
the user in their Email client (Outlook) is shown in the body of the email.
Some of the users complain that the columns are misaligned. I think this has
to do with using Word as the default editor, which screws up the look of the
report (plain text is fine!).
Now the other workaround would be to send this output file a attachment which
will keep the look of the report consistent .... any ideas on how to do
this... may be another idea altogether will also be appriciated ?
