I am tyring to figure out why Outlook is removing my line breaks in my reply.asp page. Here is part of my reply page code
CODE

'-- build the message body            
    strmsg = strMsg & "Is this information for you?: " & request.form("info1") & chr(13) & chr(10)
    strmsg = strMsg & "Is this information for a loved?: " & request.form("info2") & chr(13) & chr(10)
    strmsg = strMsg & "If this information is for a loved one, what is there name?: " & request.form("lovedone") & chr(13) & chr(10) & chr(13) & chr(10)
                        
    strMsg = strMsg & "Please send me more information on Liberty Residence I: " & request.form("LR1") & chr(13) & chr(10)
    strMsg = strMsg & "Please send me more information on Liberty Residence II: " & request.form("LR2") & chr(13) & chr(10)
    strMsg = strMsg & "Please add me to the Liberty News quarterly news letter mailing list: " & request.form("newsletter") & chr(13) & chr(10) & chr(13) & chr(10)



the email returns look like this in my Outlook.

Is this information for you?: yes
Is this information for a loved?: no
If this information is for a loved one, what is there name?:

Please send me more information on Liberty Residence I: Independent Living Please send me more information on Liberty Residence II: Assisted Living Please add me to the Liberty News quarterly news letter mailing list: Yes
