ASP from mailer Returns or line breaks

Clone

Hi

I'm working on a asp form mailer.
It all works fine except the email that is sent has all the variables on the same line. I would like them to be on a seperate line.

I read various different forums regarding this issue to no avail.
It's a simple thing but its taking me far too long for a simple line break

here is the ASP I'm using:

<%
Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
myMail.Subject= Request("subject")
myMail.From= Request("email")
myMail.To="myemail@myprovider.com"
myMail.TextBody="Name:"&Request("uname")&_
"Email:"&Request("email")&_
"Tel:"&Request("contactno")&_
"Address:"&Request("address")&_
"query"&Request("query")

myMail.Send
set myMail=nothing
%>


Any help would be much appreciated

The solution i found to this at one stage was to encode it as HTML, and then add in like <br/>'s.

Dont have the code handy but should be handy to google. or someone have another solution ?

Thanks for the reply,

I tried that, but I wasn't sure If i was declaring the bodytext to be html properly so it didn't work.

In plain text mails, you use vbcrlf to do a line break, e.g.

myMail.TextBody= "Name: " & Request("uname") & vbcrlf &_
"Email: " & Request("email") & vbcrlf &_
"Tel: " & Request("contactno") & vbcrlf &_
"Address: " & Request("address") & vbcrlf &_
"query"&Request("query")

DJB has it - if you want to put HTML in the body you need to use - myMail.HTMLBody instead

DJB thanks for that it worked perfect. I had been tinkering with this but never got it correct.

ron_darrell thanks for the html definition, handy to know as i had been dealing with flash spitting out html markup in the variables but got rid of that.
It will come in handy in the future.
