HTML email does not recognize newline

[eluser]jules123[/eluser]
Hello,

I am using the CI Email class to send emails. The only config I have in my config/email.php file is: $config['mailtype'] = 'html';

I receive the HTML emails fine except that the email body does not have any newline characters.

For example, if my message body is "ABC\nDEF\n", it shows up as ABC DEF and not -

ABC
DEF

Any thoughts what is going on? Any help is appreciated!
