Note that --no-pager is implied if you pipe the command. Also note that it's --since=today, not --since-today. > > then do: > cat /var/log/messages | mailx -s "/var/log/messages" user (real isp > email ) > > for me it was: > Journalctl in calws-mail inbox: 5.47mb > /var/log/messages in claws-mail inbox .58mb Well, you added "-x" to the command line, so you get the message catalogue entries added in. Don't do that, and it is going to be smaller. Also, note that it's not defined where /var/log/messages is rotated, but "journalctl --since=today" will give you everything of today, regardless whether rotated or not. So, you are comparing *very* different things.
