How to add spaces in Mailto: output???

Hi, <br />
<br />
I'm creating a simple form with a mailto: email post, but would like to be able to space the output between different sections instead of having only single spaces between lines of output.<br />
<br />
Any way to do that without adding anything visible to the form page?<br />
<br />
thanks,<br />
niteowl<!--content-->You may be looking for the newline character escape sequence.<br />
<br />
Using the \n escape sequence, a new line will be produced in a ASCII text document.<br />
<br />
This line<br />
<br />
"hello\n\nhow are you"<br />
<br />
will produce the following output<br />
<br />
hello<br />
<br />
how are you<br />
<br />

hmm, I couldn't get this to work.. does there have to be text up against the "\n\n" ? I'm trying to just separate about 4 sections of output from a form, so it's easy to see where they begin when viewing the email.<br />
<br />
here's a piece of code that I think shows what I am wanting to do:<br />
<br />
<br />
--------------------------<br />
</SELECT><BR><BR><BR><br />
<br />
\n\n\n\n<br />
<br />
Property Info:-<BR><BR><br />
<br />
<br />
Property Type: <SELECT NAME="Property_Type" SIZE="1"><br />
--------------------------<br />
<br />
I know the "Property Info:-" won't show in the output, but I'd like the blank lines to appear at this point in the output. and of course, how do I hide that on the page?? (I suppose I could just make the font color the same as the background, but is there another way?)<br />
<br />
What am I doing incorrectly?<br />
<br />
thanks,<br />

Sorry, I must not be being clear.. I'm trying to get the "output" in the email that's sent to have a blank line between certain sections of information... <br />
<br />
I know how to make a line break in the html.... ;-)<br />
<br />
Is producing a blank line in the form output possible?<br />
<br />
thanks,<br />
