This is the same and less code, if you want to limit number of fetches, use
LIMIT in your SQL-query.

$text ="This is costumers names".
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result_que
ry)) {
echo $row['name'];
echo " ";
echo $row['blabla'];
}

If you want to store something in a variable, then don't use echo, as it will
always go to stdout (in this case the webserver).

$text ="This is costumers names".
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result_que
ry)) {
$text .= $row['name'];
$text .= " ";
$text .= $row['blabla'];
}

mail(some@example.net, "Customer info", $text,'From: webmaster@example.com');

the '.=' is used to append text to a variable, which makes it easy to build
string of text as an auto generated list of data that will be sent with mail().
