Problem in Attachement of the Email

Question

Hi, I need to send an external email along with an attachement i.e. a text file with many records in it.
All things are working smoothly except that the records in the attached text file rae coming in a single line while the records in the internal table should come in seperate line. I have checked the internal table and all the records are fine and with seperate index but while giving the reference of the internal table of records to the function module, it prints all the records on the same line rather than printing on the new lines.
Please help. Thanks in advance.
