New line in code is not working

Question

I'm using this code to send mails to my coworkers. The part at the mailMessage.Body, when I'm using "\r\n" is not working. Instead of showing the e-mail like this:

entity.PrimaryMeal.Title

entity.ScondaryMeal.Title

Porosine mund ta beni ketu: <> (this is in my language AL)

it is showing like this:

entity.PrimaryMeal.Title, entity.ScondaryMeal.Title. Porosine mund ta beni ketu: <>

What am I doing wrong?

private void SendMail(string MailReciever)
{
    Configuration configuration = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath);
    MailSettingsSectionGroup mailSettingsSectionGroup = (MailSettingsSectionGroup)configuration.GetSectionGroup("system.net/mailSettings");

    string MailSender = mailSettingsSectionGroup.Smtp.From;
    string Username = mailSettingsSectionGroup.Smtp.Network.UserName;
    string UserPassword = mailSettingsSectionGroup.Smtp.Network.Password;
    string SmtpServer = mailSettingsSectionGroup.Smtp.Network.Host;
    int Port = mailSettingsSectionGroup.Smtp.Network.Port;
    bool UseSsl = mailSettingsSectionGroup.Smtp.Network.EnableSsl;
    bool UseDefaultCredentials = mailSettingsSectionGroup.Smtp.Network.DefaultCredentials;

    using (SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient())
    using (MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage())
    {
        mailMessage.To.Add(MailReciever);
        mailMessage.From = new MailAddress(MailSender);
        mailMessage.Subject = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["NewMailSubject"];

        smtpClient.Host = SmtpServer;
        smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = UseDefaultCredentials;
        smtpClient.Port = Port;
        smtpClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(Username, UserPassword);
        smtpClient.EnableSsl = UseSsl;

        #region MailMessageBody

        var entity = Factory.Orders.List(item => item.OrderDate == DateTime.Today).ToList().FirstOrDefault();

        if (entity.SecondaryMealId == -1)
        {
            mailMessage.Body = entity.PrimaryMeal.Title + ".\r\nPorosine mund ta beni ketu: http://10.200.30.11:8888";
        }

        else if (entity.TertiaryMealId == -1)
        {
            mailMessage.Body = entity.PrimaryMeal.Title + ",\r\n" + entity.SecondaryMeal.Title + ".\r\nPorosine mund ta beni ketu: http://10.200.30.11:8888";
        }

        else
        {
            mailMessage.Body = entity.PrimaryMeal.Title + ",\r\n" + entity.SecondaryMeal.Title + ",\r\n" + entity.TertiaryMeal.Title + ".\r\nPorosine mund ta beni ketu: http://10.200.30.11:8888";
        }

        #endregion

        mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;

        smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);
    }
}

Answer 1

mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;

You are sending your email as Html (which ignores raw line breaks), you should add the <br> tag instead (or work with paragraphs).

    if (entity.SecondaryMealId == -1)
    {
        mailMessage.Body = entity.PrimaryMeal.Title + ".<br>Porosine mund ta beni ketu: http://10.200.30.11:8888";
    }

    else if (entity.TertiaryMealId == -1)
    {
        mailMessage.Body = entity.PrimaryMeal.Title + ",<br>" + entity.SecondaryMeal.Title + ".\r\nPorosine mund ta beni ketu: http://10.200.30.11:8888";
    }

    else
    {
        mailMessage.Body = entity.PrimaryMeal.Title + ",<br>" + entity.SecondaryMeal.Title + ",<br>" + entity.TertiaryMeal.Title + ".<br>Porosine mund ta beni ketu: http://10.200.30.11:8888";
    }

Answer 2

I think its better to send HTML mail. That means you need to put <br/> instead of \r\n and set Message body type as HTML.
