I have a script that emails certain linux log entries to me, and I read the email in MS Outlook.
The problem is that all the lines run together with no linefeeds between the lines.
To address this I inserted sed "s/$/\n/" before the mail command, but that gives me 2 linefeeds between each line in the email!
What is the proper way to get a single linefeed between each line (using sed)

Check to make sure your Outlook isn't helpfully removing line breaks for you (ie the problem isn't Linux, it's Outlook). By default I think it does. It should be telling you this at the top of the view panel.
