The default behavior is to send pure text. There are three ways to accomplish this:
If you are wanting to send an ASCII text file as the message body, this would be the first parameter. The filename extension usually dictates how the message is formatted, if it gets formatted at all. For example: blat someTextFile.txt
If you want to sent ASCII text from the command line, you can use -body followed by your text inside quotation marks. For example: blat - -body "Message body goes here."
If you want to key in the text from your keyboard, you can leave off the -body option as well as any filename. Blat will then wait for you to key in your message, to be ended with Ctrl-Z.

Many thanks! The problem was at the end of mailing: The mails had been sent as pure text but Outlook uses Calibri font as default for pure text mails. I changed that to Courier New and everything is fine (equidistant spacing).
