    This character stands for a new line. But remember that you need the <br /> tag to make a "visible" new line in the browser.

    An example could be:

    <?php
    $text="This is a test mail.\nLook, if it worked.";
    mail("foo@bar.net","Test",$text);
    ?>

    The email should now look like this:

    This is a test mail.
    Look, if it worked.
