Hi,

I didn't see this anywhere else on the forum.

I use godaddy as my host, when I send an email, I'd like to insert linebreaks.

for example:

When the email is sent, the text shows fine, but the linebreaks are not inserted. I've also tried controlchars.newline, system.environment.newline and controlchars.crlf instead of the vbCrLf.

Besides reading a template from a text file, and then replacing the ##keyword##, as done on pg 324-325, is there a way to show the line breaks in the message?

My reason for doing this is, on my contactme.aspx, I have a name, phone number and textbox field that i read directly into the message body.

Thanks!

Hi there,

The code you posted works for me, so I can think of only two reasons why this fails:

1. You're sending the message as HTML (IsBodyHtml is true) in which case you need to use an HTML <br /> tag.

2. Your client, such as Outlook is trying to be helpful and removes the line breaks when the message arrives.



Cheers,

Imar

Thanks for the fast response. I did have the IsBodyHtml property set to true and didn't realize it.
