question about adding a carriage return in a php mail() message

[TroyNB]

I am working with the mail() function and have a question. If I send out an email message as an html email, I know that I can send out the message as:

$message ='This is line one<br>This is line two<br>This is line three';

and the email would look like this when opened:

This is line one
This is line two
This is line three

I basically just want to send out plain text emails, but I can't figure out how to get a newline in a message. I tried this:

$message ='This is line one\nThis is line two\nThis is line three';

I thought the email message would look like:

This is line one
This is line two
This is line three

But instead it came out like this:
This is line one\nThis is line two\nThis is line three

Any suggestions on how I can add a carriage return into my messages? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Think I read a post yesterday saying you could do it with /r/n try that 🙂

$msg = "This is line one\n";
$msg .= "This is line two\n";
$msg .= "This is line three\n";

/* This will output . . . 

This is line one
This is line two
This is line three


if you want two spaces. . . */

$msg = "This is line one with two spaces after\n\n";
$msg .= "This is line two with one space after\n";
$msg .= "This is line three\n";

/* This will output . . .

This is line one with two spaces after

This is line two with one space after
This is line three

*/
