Include line breaks in email sent via batch file

0

"\\File\Path\To\Program.EXE" AUTORUN="report" /SYS OUTPUT= MAPI (TO="bob@email.com.au" SUBJECT="Report" MESSAGE="Hi, Please find attached your statement. Regards, Bob." STYLE=PDF)

The above batch file runs a program which generates a report, then emails the report as an attachment. This all works however when sending the email their are no line breaks in the body of the email message.

How do I add in line breaks so the message reads as below?

Hi,

Please find attached your statement.

Regards, Bob

You give no information about the program that is actually sending the email. So I can only give you a couple of general options. One of them might do the trick:

  • Put "< p >" (without the quotes) were you want a line-break.
  • Try "< br >" (without the quotes)
  • Try "\n" (again: without the quotes).
  • Some programs allow the body of the mail to be read from a file in stead of a command-line parameter. So check the documentation if that can be used.
