Plain text email carriage return

In plain text email, a carriage return is represented by a line break character, which is typically represented by a newline character (\n) or a carriage return character (\r).

In most email clients, a carriage return is automatically added at the end of each line, so you don't need to explicitly include it in your email. However, if you want to include a carriage return in your plain text email, you can use the following methods:

  1. Newline character (\n): You can use the newline character (\n) to create a line break. For example:

    Hello,
    World!

    This will render as:

    Hello,
    World!
  2. Carriage return character (\r): You can use the carriage return character (\r) to create a line break. For example:

    Hello\r
    World!

    This will render as:

    Hello
    World!

    Note that some email clients may not support the carriage return character (\r) and may instead use the newline character (\n) to create a line break.

  3. Line break (<br>):: You can also use the HTML line break (<br>) in your plain text email, but this will only work if the email client supports HTML. For example:

    Hello<br>
    World!

    This will render as:

    Hello
    World!

    Keep in mind that using HTML in plain text email is generally not recommended, as it can cause formatting issues and make your email more difficult to read.
