I produce a letter which is emailed out that is a short multi- line reminder notice, on some Windows email readers the <\r> which I use as a line break gets ignored and the lines run together, what character(s) should I use as a line break?

\r is carriage return
\n is line feed

There are three standards for line endings:
carriage return (Mac OS 9)
line feed (Unix)
carriage return followed by line feed (DOS, Windows)

Since Mac OS X apps are usually good at handling all three types of line endings, you probably want \r\n, but a simple \n will usually suffice as well. You should probably never use \r, as that is basically a legacy of Mac OS 9 only.
