GenericSendEmail

I have the email firing and the EmailTo, EmailSubject all work fine.  I also have the EmailHTMLFormat = True

My question is in regards to the EmailMessage.  If I need to insert a carriage return so the next bit of data is on the next line, how would I do that?

Thx

What I've been doing is building the email message in form script.  For me, that is an easy way to do it.  I set the email message to a variable.  And in the GenericSendEmail set the EmailMessage to my variable.

Since the email is HTML, then you can use <br> for line breaks. And double <br> to double space.  In this example, Title is a field in my primary collection.  So I use the P(Title) to display the Title in the email.

string emailMessage = @P(RequestorFullName) has submitted a Building Services Request. <br /><br/>
<b>Title: </b> P(Title) <br/>
<b>Urgency: </b> P(Urgency) <br/>
<b>Location: </b> P(Location) <br/> <br/>
<b>Issue: </b> <br/>
P(Issue) <br/> <br/>

I set the variable with this command:

ThisForm.Variables("vEmailMessage").SetValue(emailMessage);
