Shell Script - Echoing - Emails Results in a poor format.

Currently I have a script like this.

#!/bin/bash
Fun()
{
echo "blah1" >> File
echo "blah2" >> File
echo "blah3" >> File
echo "blah4" >> File
echo "blah5" >> File
}

Fun
Cat File | mail -s ' Here is a file [email protected]

When this file gets sent to my email I get my text like this.

blah1,blah2,blah3,blah4,blah5

Is there anyway where I can get my results like this?

blah1
blah2
blah3
blah4
blah5

I tried adding a echo >> file command after each line but it results in this which I do not want for various reasons later on. 

blah1

blah2

blah3

blah4

blah5

Use below instead of "echo"

echo -e "blah1 \n" >> File

OR use below to create a file in fun(). 

cat <<EOF >File
blah1
blah2
..
EOF

To append the same file.. use (note extra '>')

cat <<EOF >>File
blah5
blah6
EOF
