formating mail

[siwy]

Hi all, my mail function works just fine but the textarea being emailed arrives unformated no line brakes, no carriage returns. how to solve this?

Common question and I never got an answer to this question but tada! I have one for you.

try passing your message through the str_replace function something like this:
$comments=str_replace("\r","\n",$comments);

worked for me like a charm. Also this should fix malicious header injection abuse as headers must have \r and \n at the end.

Nope, using str_replace doesn't change anything. The funny thing is that when i look at the email as RAW source than it looks as it suppose to look but in normal view it's one line.
Is anything wrong with this?

$mailfrom = '[e-mail]';
$mailsubject = $POST["txtSubject"];
$mailtxt = str_replace("\r","\n",$POST["txtBody"]);
$mailbody = "$mailtxt <br><br><br>
<FONT COLOR = BLUE>--- Do Not Respond To This email Address As This Mailbox Is Not Being Monitored ---</FONT COLOR>";
$mailsto = $list;
$mailto = implode(",",$mailsto);
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $mailfrom\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n";

Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n

So you're sending it as HTML (did you notice?) So you need to use <br> tags. Like all HTML.

Yes, I finaly notice and after changing it to plain it worked like a charm.

That's definitely a better solution!
