How do I get it to do that? I tried replacing \n with \r\n but it's not even finding any \n. This is really puzzling me. If I copy the data from the database field using MySQL-Front and paste it into a word processor it will have the line breaks retained. But what is it in the data that shows these breaks? I can't find any \n in the data. Then when it's sent via email of course there are no line breaks displayed. Jeff Oien
