sending text to outlook express

I can send (email_address,subject,text) to outlook express.
What I can't do is retain the line breaks. Could anyone please
tell me how to do that?

Sending "\r\n" doesn't force line breaks.

Sending rtf doesn't work because outlook express cannot deal with rtf.

I would prefer to send ASCII across.

The strange thing is that when I am in outlook express I can
force line breaks with TRL m, but if I send (char)13 across
instead of "\r\n" no line breaks are forced.

Patrick.

How about HTML?
Replace your line breaks with <BR> HTML tags....

Then I get <BR> all over the place, but no line breaks.
I need to solve this problem, any other suggestions?
