Text running together in emails.

Our system seems to not be including the format.

Hello,

We are sending out information that is posted on forms, to our clients, via email. However, the entire message is run together in one big paragraph. If you type out three lines with a space between each line, in the email it is just three sentences in one continuous line.

When we look at the information in the db it shows the breaks, but when the system sends the email the line breaks don't carry over.

Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?

Thanks!

Are you using plain text or html emails?

They are just plain text emails.

It isn't something like you're viewing it in Outlook which has been "helpful" and removed some line breaks is it? (See the yellow alert box in the message header area)

I don't think Outlook is the problem. I think the system (PHP) is not carrying over the spacing characters properly.

Are there any universal hidden line break tags such as \n we can force into the data?

By universal I mean something that different types of email clients from Outlook to Mac can all use.

Thanks
