no line breaks in plain text emails

[chokky]

I'm using the mail($MailTo, $Subject, $Body, $headers) function to
send out plain text emails, with the message/body being entered via a
form. When the email arrives, the message is displayed as a continuous
line, without carriage returns or line breaks.
I have tried inserting a number of different headers but always with
the same results. Can the problem be fixed with headers?

This only happens on Outlook/Windows XP - other setups show the email
fine!

Thanks...

Try this (just fishing):

<?php
// ...
$Body = str_replace("\n ", "\r\n", $Body);
$headers .= "\r\nConten t-Type: text/plain";
mail($MailTo, $Subject, $Body, $headers);
?>

Thanks. Good suggestion - but this forces an extra break between
lines. Any other ideas welcome!

change line 3:
$Body = preg_replace("\ r?\n", "\r\n", $Body);

Can you post a complete mail with all the headers? -- well ... we could
without the Received:, X-*:, and a lot of others :)
