linebreaks in outlook

[brancook]

I'm having an awful time trying to format an automatic email. When the email is view in outlook it removes the linebreaks from the format if I add a "\n\n" to my code then the entire email is double spaced.

Are there any hacks to get around the problem in outlook?

can you show us the formatting you are using.

have you tried sending "\r\n" instead of just "\n"

I tried the "\r\n" and that didn't seem to work. Here is my format:

$destination_email = "[e-mail]";
$email_subject = "STA - Widget Supplied Material";
$email_body = "The STA - Widget Supplied Material database has been modified."."\r\n".
"If you have any questions, please email me at [e-mail] - Do Not Reply to this email"."\n\n".
"STA - Widget : $manual"."\r\n".
"STA - Widget : $quick_setup"."\r\n".
"STA - Widget : $important"."\r\n".
"STA - Widget : $label"."\n\n".
"STA - Widget : $sta_0017"."\r\n".
"STA - Widget : $sta_0018"."\r\n".
"STA - Widget : $sta_0019"."\r\n".
"STA - Widget : $sta_0020"."\r\n".
"STA - Widget : $sta_0021"."\r\n".
"STA - Widget : $sta_0023"."\n\n".
"Widget : $sta_0024"."\r\n".
"Widget : $sta_0023"."\r\n".
"Widget : $sta_0023"."\r\n".
"Widget : $sta_0023"."\n\n".
"You can also view the database by visiting here:";
if ($_POST['submitted']) {
mail ($destination_email, $email_subject, $email_body);
}
