Line breaks in email body (UE4)

Line breaks in email body (UE4)

Not sure what I'm missing here, but line breaks are not appearing in emails generated by UE4.

Looking in the email file, it looks OK:

$MailBody = $MailBody . "Thanks for registering with the site.\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . "\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . "Once we have verified your details, we will email you a password to log in to the site.\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . "\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . "Regards, etc";

As far as I know the \r\n should be inserting line breaks, but its all coming through as a single line in the emails. Any suggestions?

use <br /> tags for line breaks.

Thanks Jason - must have missed that it was HTML where the text goes.

I have one last question on all of this - emails working from my registration page - one to the person registering, and one to the site owner. All good.

The set up is that when someone registers, the site owner verifies their details and issues a password.

So I'm trying to automate the email with the password, from a form where the site owner adds the the password.

I haven't been able to get an email sent from this page though.

It should go to

<?php echo $row_SecurityAssisttradeusers['Email']; ?>

Which echoes correctly on the page, and what I have the Email to set to in UE, but no emails are coming through.

I've attached the page with the from, and the UE file. This is definitely the last piece of all of this though!

Thanks again.

looks like you have an ADDT update transaction on the page that is redirecting to the index page before the email can be sent.

remove the redirect from the update transaction and add it to the UE Behavior.

Thanks Jason - all woking now.

Am liking UE4 - I had still been using ADDT to send emails from forms, so that's now one less thing I'll need ADDT for.
