No, it doesn't.  It builds an HTML message (see the very first line).  If
you supply plain text to this as the body of the message, all the lines
will be concatenated together, which sounds a lot like what you are seeing.

If you are not feeding HTML as the body, change the fist line to
('text','plain').
