Inserting New lines in text email 1

[nphani]

Hi Friends,
I am using CDONTS for emailing and everything is working fine. But I want to send text emails with some information like:
A: xyz
B: pqr
etc etc...
I am able to get the information but am not able to insert new line characters into the text. I am using recordsets for developing the strings. I am trying:
strMail = strMail & "A: xyz" & vbCRLF
What should I use instead of vbCRLF for inserting new lines?

Here is a clip from one of my pages. Works fine for me.

objMail.Body = "ADDRESS: " & Request.Form("Address&quot & vbcrlf &_
"PHONE: " & Request.Form("Phone&quot & vbcrlf &_
"EMAIL: " & Request.Form("Email&quot & vbcrlf

I have noticed that use of rich text format gives varying results due to (I think) the configuration of the client email application.

yeah I agree with Jeff...all email applications tackle the formatting in different ways.

Another way around it is to make the email html.

Or, to make it ANSII complient and portable to most systems, try:

objMail.Body = "ADDRESS: " & Request.Form("Address") & "\nPHONE: " & Request.Form("Phone") & "\nEMAIL: " & Request.Form("Email") & "\n"

\n = line break
\r = line return
\t = tab

There are some more, but these are the most widely used.

Take Care,

Mike,

Thanks for posting that, I have not seen those before. Where do they come from? Thanks!

You might try Chr$(13). Good Luck!

Those are called escape sequences:
