I read that [multi line file] into a variable COMMENTS with procmail
COMMENTS = `cat $METAMAIL_TMPDIR/mm*` and ran

Does the variable contain line feeds?
The command output substitution in Bourne Shell (`command`) replaces all linefeeds with spaces. If this is your problem you could use something like this:


COMMENTS=""
cat $METAMAIL_TMPDIR/mm*|while read line
do
   COMMENTS="$COMMENTS$line\n"
done
