I wish to send an email, and I want the ability to place explicit newline characters in the content (bodyText) of the mail.

I have tried both br and backslash-n. In both cases, instead of being interpreted as a newline character, they appear literally.

Thank you in advance for solutions.

For futher clarification, here is my code. All works fine except for the newline problem:

set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer")
Mailer.RemoteHost = "kabbalaonline.org"
Mailer.FromName = "tom"
Mailer.FromAddress = "tom@mail.com"
Mailer.AddRecipient "joe", "joe@mail.com"
Mailer.Subject = "hello, joe"
Mailer.BodyText = "this is line 1<br>this is line2"
if Mailer.SendMail then
Response.Write("ok")
else
Response.Write("Mailer.Response")
end if
set Mailer = nothing

Try this...

I believe the mailer component you're using defaults to plain text content if not otherwise specified.

For text emails, you can try:

"this is line 1" & VbCrLf & "this is line2"

For html email, a <br> should work... you just need to specify the email to be html content...

Mailer.ContentType = "text/html" OR Mailer.ContentType = "text/plain"

Cheers...
