Display a Multiline Textbox in an email correctly?

Mark Sandfox

The abjective is to allow the user to enter multiple lines of a material
list into an ASP form that will be emailed the the supplier. The user side
works fine, but the resulting email loses its EOL format in the email. Here
is a portion of the code where I think the problem is but I can not find any
documentation on how to solve this obviously simple task.

twTextWriter.RenderBeginTag("tr")
twTextWriter.RenderBeginTag("td width=""150""")
twTextWriter.WriteLine("Material List: ")
twTextWriter.RenderEndTag
twTextWriter.RenderBeginTag("td")
twTextWriter.Write(tbMaterialList.value)
twTextWriter.RenderEndTag
twTextWriter.RenderEndTag
twTextWriter.RenderEndTag

twTextWriter.RenderEndTag
twTextWriter.RenderEndTag
twTextWriter.RenderEndTag

objMailMessage = New MailMessage
objMailMessage.From = "No*****@Address.com"
objMailMessage.To = Order@****.com
objMailMessage.Subject = "Order From Website"
objMailMessage.Body = swHtmlBody.ToString
objMailMessage.BodyFormat = MailFormat.HTML
Thank you in advance for your help.

Sorry, i had some old test code below - replace
twTextWriter.Write(tbMaterialList.value) with
twTextWriter.Write(tbMaterialList.text)

Mark,

To conserve white space in the rendered HTML, try wrapping the text in a
<pre></pre> block.

HTH,
Nicole
