Re: Can't get an email message to format properly... Linefeeds not working?

It probably has something to do with the fact that line terminators in SMTP (see RFC) are supposed to be \r\n, so the client is managing to interpret \n\n to represent what you meant to express, but it is working in 'quirks mode'.

DID NOT WORK! \r\n still does not force a new line... It appears like this in outlook:- A reply has been posted to your message on the website blah blah blah. The URL for the response is http://www.awebsite.com/cgi/software/program.pl?f=1&m=254388&df=1 Note: The URL is on a new line but may just have autowrapped.	[reply]
