Hi,

I create an email item like:

Dim objOutlook As New Outlook.Application()
Dim newMail As Outlook.MailItemClass

I then use the

newMail.HTMLBody = pBody

where pBody = &quot;<html><head><body><font size='2' face='Courier'>Hello \n GoodBye</font></body></head></html>&quot;

say.

Now my problem is it displays Hello \n Goodbye instead of inserting the newline like it should!

Has anyone got any ideas why its doing that since it picks up all the other html just fine?

Thanks

Does \n work with HTML? I thought you had to use <BR> to get a line break. I know that \n is an escape character, but I don't know if HTML recognizes that or not.

Anyway, try <BR> to get a newline.
