How to use delim with stats? Multivalued fields generated after using list() in stats is resulting in space-separated values to be emailed to me in a scheduled search rather than them appearing on a new line. Will delim be helpful? If not, is there any other way?

I found this solution to my problem:

| stats delim=":" list(XYZ) as XYZ BY CRITERIA
| rex mode=sed field=XYZ "s/:/\n/g"

This gives you the results on new lines in the table emailed from splunk.

You can for example set delim=";" and your values will be separated by a semicolon... however, I haven't gotten a newline to work.
