Can't put line break in ASP Email!

I've been trying to add some lines breaks in a ASP email.
I've tried with CHR(10) and with vbCrLf.
Every test I get the emails without the line breaks.

This is how my code is:

body = "Name: " & Request.Form("name") & vbCrLf & _
"Email: " & Request.Form("email") & Chr(10) & _
"Manufacturer: " & Request.Form("mnf") & Chr(10) & _
"Category: " & Request.Form("cat") & Chr(10) & _
"Product Description: " & Request.Form("msg")

Could you guys help?
Thanks

Check to see if your emails are actually HTML emails being sent, just not plain text. If they are HTML emails, you can use for the breaks. If they are text, then vbcrlf should be fine.

I would try it like this:

body = "Name: " & Request.Form("name") & "\r\nEmail: " &...

Should work for ya.

Mattglet, I don't know if it's html or text. The content type is hmtl/text.
Anyway, I tired putting a there and it won't work. I guess because it's text only.

Birdman, the way you described gives me an error. I am not sure the \r\n is supposed to go inside quotes?

Isn't there another way to do this?

Thanks
