It works fine for me either way.  Just in case it will help, here's the contents of my test file:
 
  SET VAR vresult TEXT
  SET VAR vreturn TEXT = ((CHAR(13))+(CHAR(10)))
  SET VAR vemailaddress = '"Dawn Hast" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'
  SET VAR vquote TEXT = (CVAL('QUOTES'))
  SET VAR vpipe TEXT = '|'
  SET VAR vto TEXT = ('To:'+.vemailaddress)
  SET VAR vsubject = 'Subject: Test'
  SET VAR vfname = 'Dawn'
  SET VAR vlname = 'Hast'
  SET VAR vtotpt = '$100.00'
  SET VAR vdatelch DATE = 08/12/08
  SET VAR vdatelpay DATE = 08/11/08
  SET VAR vamtperpd = '$20.00'
  SET VAR vbody TEXT = +
  (.vfname & .vlname +.vreturn + +
  'Your estimate balance is..'& (CTXT(.vtotpt))  +.vreturn + .vreturn+ +
  'Your last visit was on ...'& (CTXT(.vdatelch)) + .vreturn + .vreturn + +
  'Last personal payment on ...'& (CTXT(.vdatelpay)) + .vreturn + +
  'Amount of payment ....'& (CTXT(.vamtperpd))  +(CHAR(013)) )
  SET VAR vbody = ('Body:' + .vbody)
  SET VAR vparameters TEXT = (.vquote+'vResult' + .vpipe + .vto + .vpipe + +
      .vsubject + .vpipe + .vbody + .vquote)
  PLUGINS mapimail2.rbl &vparameters
  RETURN

It works fine on my end.  With mapimail4, I suppose it could be your email client.  Try using mapimail2, which doesn't interface with your email client to see how it's formatted with that.  If it's fine there, then there could be some setting in your email client that's preventing it from displaying properly.

Hi Dawn
 
I have .vReturn and (Char(013))  on different lines to test see which one would start a new line.
 
The email looks like this
JOHN Public Your estimate balance is.. $11.00 Your last visit was on ... 11/09/2005 Last
personal payment on ... 02/21/2007 Amount of payment .... -$15.00
Instead of
JOHN Public
Your estimate balance is.. $11.00
Your last visit was on ... 11/09/2005
Last personal payment on ... 02/21/2007
Amount of payment .... -$15.00
Thanks
Marc

Marc,
 
You don't say specifically what's not working.  One thing I noticed is that after the fname and lname variables you have a (Char(013)) rather than a .vreturn.  Other than that, it looks like it does what you are asking it to do.

HI Jan
 
This code similar to what I found in a old email using
MapiMail4, that is why I started with it instead of RMail.

I did not have a whole lot of success formatting the email body until I went to R:Mail.
Not saying it's not possible. Just I couldn't figure out the issue.

I am testing my While loop code using MapiMail4,
Then I was going to switch to RMail.

Hi
 
I am having problems getting the body of the email to format
the way I want. 
 
This is my last try
SET VAR vReturn TEXT = ((CHAR(13))+(CHAR(10)))
  SET VAR vbody TEXT = +
  (.vfname & .vlname +(CHAR(013))+ +
  'Your estimate balance is..'& (CTXT(.vtotpt))  +.vReturn + .vReturn+ +
  'Your last visit was on ...'& (CTXT(.vdatelch)) + .vReturn + .vReturn + +
  'Last personal payment on ...'& (CTXT(.vdatelpay)) + .vReturn + +
  'Amount of payment ....'& (CTXT(.vamtperpd))  +(CHAR(013)) )
I want to have 5 lines
Name ...
Your estimate balance is ...
and so on.
 
What am I missing?
 
Thanks
Marc
