I am sending an email using mail() and it works fine. But the formatting of the body of the email is wrong. I want to format part of it in columns sort of like
this:
Name Quantity Price
Can this be done neatly without using an html email?
Also what is the trick to making line returns display properly in the email client? I've tried using \r\n with no luck. I also tried \n. The characters show in the email but no line breaks. Any suggestions?
TIA,
Mike
