Without the code it's difficult to tell whats wrong, but my guess is that you
may look for the variable in the wrong place, if your from is POST and you use
$_GET['e-mail'], then you won't get the data you was looking for. The same if
you have in the HTML input-tag used name="email", but use $_REQUEST['e-mail']
you will too get an empty value.

if(!empty($_REQUEST['something'])) {
$mailbody="add that item X\n";
}

$mailbody="one line of text\n\nnext line is two rows below\n";
\n is for a new line, \n\n is two new lines.
