I have not looked at the code, so I am guessing, but it seems that
mail/mailx hadle a continuous block of text differently to a
multi-line block. I am not competent to decide if the as it should be
or not.
I have a script that checks for various available updates and the
results are written to a file whose contents i redirect to mailx and
that works well with multiline text
mailx -n -s "Subject" -r f...@example.com t...@example.net <$file
I don't recall why i chose this approach but it could be that i was
having the same issues with pipeing to mailx
