AHA! Outlook, by default, removes "extra" line breaks in text
messages. Do you see a message which says this in Outlook? This is an
option you can turn off. If this doesn't work, just send the message
as HTML. There's really no reason not to, especially if you're in
Outlook.

I've used the following to fix newlines:
$text=str_replace("\r\n","\n",$text);
$text=str_replace("\r","\n",$text);
$text=str_replace("\n","\r\n",$text);
