Ah, very helpful and very useful, many thanks Robert.  By using

Net::SMTP.start(my_mail_server) { |smtp| smtp.send_message 
IO.read(my_dodgy_file), from_address, to_address }

... I'm getting the same result as before confirming your and Brian's 
position that this is not related to Sendmail (so I must have misread 
that 'sendmail' man page).   I focused my attention on the file I'm 
feeding into Sendmail, and whilst I don't pretend to understand it, I 
find if I add two newlines ("\n\n") before my list of lines ending in 
semicolons then it works as desired.

Plus, I now know how to quickly and easily send e-mail from Ruby without 
relying on other programs - nice!
