Email is text, not HTML. Unless it is HTML... ;-) (Yes, in this case it seems not to be but it is worth noting that email can be HTML at times.

@Chris - Well you do have to send the appropriate MIME headers for an HTML mailing, which seemed a more complex solution to offer for a very a simple problem

Oh, I quite agree that your solution is the best one. I was more observing that the opening statement seems to be talking generally rather than this specific case. Even if it isn't needed now it is worth noting that it is possible to do HTML e-mail since it might be useful for future problems.

Thanks Mark, but why "\n\r"?. For a new line "\n" is enough. "\n\r" outputs a blank line between the two lines.

@user248959 - Purely for the sake of windows... PHP_EOL is the cleaner option, and will be whatever is appropriate for your flavour of server, be it "\n", "\n\r" or "\r\n"
