If you look at the source code for the page (or the email in a text-only
mail client), you'll see what \n is for :-)
HTML completely ignores "whitespace" - spaces, tabs, line breaks - you might
have noticed that you can do things like this:
<p>
This is
a
paragraph
</p>
Browsers should render this as one paragraph. \n counts as "whitespace" and
so it doesn't show up on the display.
Incidentally, this is what things like <pre> are for when you've finished
with $message, try this:
$message = "<pre>". $message. "</pre>";
It'll look like a mess but you should see the line breaks :-)
Cheers
Jon
