how to set the font with mailx?

  • 772

Solaris Korn Shell

I am writing sql reports to an oracle database, spooling them to a file and emailing them with mailx. I use the syntax below. The reports do not format properly, unless I use the Courier New font. How do I set this with mailx?

mailx -s "MY REPORT, date +'%D %r " -r "REPORTING SYSTEM" [email protected]< /mydir/mysql.log > /dev/null

    There isn't a font in plain text email (which mailx is sending). You need to configure your client software to use the right font.
