    When i send an email I want to set from and after Hi i want text to move to next line.

    I am sending mail on hotmail for test purpose. I don't want to use html content type

    Can anyone help me out?

    thanks in advance.

    				$to = $_POST["email"];
				$subject = 'Your Password';				
				$message = 'Hi \n'. 'Your new password is:'.$substr;				
				$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
				$headers .= 'Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";	
				$headers .= contactus . "\r\n";
				mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

    $to = $_POST['email'];
$subject = 'Your Password';    
$message = "Hi\n\n".'Your new password is:'.$userpassword;
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";    
$headers .= 'From: Site Name <site@email.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: Site Name <site@email.com>' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
    PHP:
    I changed $substr to $userpassword because substr is a PHP function.

    Anything inside single quotes is used exactly - \r\n will be shown as that. You'll need to use double quotes which I changed it to.

    I don't know what was in "contactus" but I removed this and replaced it with declaration of "from" and "reply to" - the latter if missing can be prone for Hotmail to dump it into their junk inbox.

    Lastly, I changed the $_POST to use single quotes.
