talonso's suggestion about quotes around the $message worked nicely and
required the least modification, so I went with that.

Greetings!
I have a little script that looks like below, that emails me info on my zfs
pool every day:
--- start script ---
message=`/usr/sbin/zfs list -r tank`
echo Subject: filez ZFS Information\n\n$message | mail fi...@nebol.se

Hi Johan,
storing the command output in the variable removes the newlines (or
better to say, it replaces them with spaces).
To get formatted message, you may do something like:
(
echo Subject: filez ZFS Information\n\n;
/usr/sbin/zfs list -r tank
) | mail address

Needs quotes around $message
message=`/usr/sbin/zfs list -r tank`
echo Subject: filez ZFS Information\n\n$message | mail filez at nebol dot se
should work.

Try this:
message=`/usr/sbin/zfs list -r tank`
echo Subject: filez ZFS Information\n\n${message}| mail filez at nebol dot se
That is curly braces around $message in the echo statement.
