I see the problem is different than the direction we are debugging.
When i write the variable to a file i see new lines but when the variable
assigned to email body it does not interpolate the new line instead prints
'\n'
- copy
content: "{{ mailbody }}"
dest: /tmp/write.log
- name: Send mail
mail:
host: localhost:
port: 25
subject: :Hi"
body: "{{ mailbody }}"
from: [email protected]
to: [email protected]
Can you please suggest?
