email file to Outlook using fixed font

[tonimac]

I have a unix script that emails output from a sql script. Problem is that the email, once received in Outlook, is in a variable width font which misaligns the columns (I assume it picks up the users default font). Is there any way to send the desired fixed-width font to Outlook via mailx or elm? (I think these are the only mail options avaible to me.)

I've seen postings elsewhere that say I can send a command to Outlook converting the email to html, so I assuming I can send some sort of font command also.

Here's the mail command I have now:

cat filename.out | mailx -s "Subject" me@work

I'm a unix dummy, so please provide specifics in your reply.

thx!
