Try to use \\r and \\n.

If it still doesn't work, could you share any additional details about the outcome? Thanks!

using \\n and \\r didn't work, the outcome is the same but now \n and \r are showing in the text like below, and before using\\n \\r it was the same but without showing \n and \r

body =Dear Hcmworker.name(),\r\n ASDGDFDHDFG for the month of Jan -2020 is attached to this e-mail\r\n ASAERGEGRGEGRTGRTGTG.\r\n 3ADASDGDFGDFHDA ADASDFGR EGWEFWEFWEFWE.\r\nGERGERG ERGEGERGw rg egrqerg g erg eg eASD afegt

Try to run the body variable through strFmtLB() function.

Did you verify it all the way to sending email? Or did you just try to print it to infolog? Infolog always shows the string as one line of text. For example, if you check LogisticsPostalAddress.Address field on a form, it has multiple lines. But if you print it to infolog, it's shown as one line.

yes, im verifing it in the email not from infolog,

i tried it in 2 different ways 1-StrFrmtLB(body) 2-body=StrFrmtLB("my text here") with no luck

both gave the same result

its weird since i used \n before and it was working well

What is the extended data type of "body" variable? In standard email templates it's using SysEmailContents data type.

Hi Silvester,

Do you see if the e-mail comes in plain text or HTML? For html, you need to use <br> tag for new line

Hi Sylvester,

Outlook normally uses HTML. Please try with "<br>" tag as Sergei suggested.
