mail() to Outlook, no carriage returns

[Tyno Gendo]

I'm sending normal text email, but in Outlook all the carriage returns
are ignored. The text comes from MySQL database, and I've tried

str_replace("\r", "\r\n", $dr['email_template']);

I also tried sending header Content-type: text/plain but still no luck,
still the email comes through as one big line.

I'm sure this must be a common thing but I can't immediately find an
answer through Google.

Please can anyone help?

I'm using the standard mail() command to send.

Sorry, I meant str_replace( "\n", "\r\n", $dr['email_template']);

Doesn't work.

Sorry all, me do bad. The replace does work, would help if I did it
in the correct place in my code, I'd replaced at the wrong point.

DOH!
