 I am actually sending the email via php using the mail() function.  I
 assumed it was the same effect that was causing the problem and wanted to
 simplify the question so that I wouldn't get "go to a php group (I did that
 too)".  I was just looking for the right escape code to create a new line.
 Yes, you are correct.  I use a function that I drew from the web to handle
 an attachment which has in it the mail() function -- and it IS a MIME
 message with a plain text body.
 
 As for your other comment, I am quite happy using Outlook Express as my mail
 reader, but the question is in the sending from the website to anyone
 else --- not what I use personally.
