ORACLE PL/sql SEND_ATTACH_VARCHAR2 the first line of the attachment is empty

Question

I need to send email with csv attachment. Im trying to use UTL_MAIL.SEND_ATTACH_VARCHAR2 and its working, but first row is always empty. (contains CRLF).

How to remove this empty row? Why does Oracle put CRLF characters on the first line?

Thanks everyone for the advice.

PROCEDURE SEND_CSV_ATTACHMENT2  AS
   v_sender                VARCHAR2(130);
   v_attachment            CLOB := 'xas';

 BEGIN

     v_sender := '[email protected]';
     
     UTL_MAIL.send_attach_varchar2(sender => v_sender,
     recipients        => '[email protected]',

     subject           => 'some subject',
     message           =>  'some message',
     mime_type         => 'text/html', -- send html e-mail
     attachment        => v_attachment, 
     att_inline        => false,
     att_mime_type => 'text',
     att_filename      => 'someName.csv');      

END SEND_CSV_ATTACHMENT2;
