SHAC email function -

In the common functions for the email function Change content-type header to
['Content-type'] = 'text/plain; charset=utf-8',

Then format your message string like this
mail('[email protected]' ,'Data', “one line\ntwo line\n\three line”)

the header ['Content-type'] = 'text/html; charset=utf-8',
ignores all spaces and new lines etc

 

thanks Pie Boy - that worked a treat
and thank you to everyone else that helped me solve this.

 

Also after some more looking into it, if you use the header
['Content-type'] = 'text/html; charset=utf-8' as it is in the original function without modifying the header,
you can just use html encoding inside a string to get the new line with<BR>

msg = "one line<BR>next line<BR>line 3 <BR>"

mail('[email protected]', 'subject', msg)
