including newline in string variable

[jdepp99]

I am trying to send an email and the body of the message in a certain format. Now if I create a table and populate it I get the format I want for that. But for a simple email where the body contains a simple string with multiple lines, I am not sure why it does does not work. I would like to know if this is an outlook issue or my code is incorrect. If I display the same thing in the console window it works.

   Dim message As String = Environment.NewLine & "******************************************************" & Environment.NewLine & "PROCESSES STILL RUNNING!" & Environment.NewLine & "******************************************************" & Environment.NewLine
    Console.WriteLine(message)

this works with both vbnewline and the above in the console window but not in the email viewed in outlook.

 Sub MSGReporting(ByVal errorMessage As String)

        Dim mail As New MailMessage()
        mail.From = New MailAddress(fromEmail, "**PROCESS MANAGER**")
        mail.Subject = "ADMIN ALERT"
        mail.To.Add(adminEmail)
        mail.IsBodyHtml = True
        mail.Body = errorMessage
        smptpServer.Send(mail)

End Sub

Here is the table code:

          strB.Append("<table border=1 cellspacing=1 cellpadding=1><thead>")
            For colIndx As Integer = 0 To dt.Columns.Count - 1
                strB.Append("<th>")
                strB.Append(dt.Columns(colIndx).ColumnName)
                strB.Append("</th>")
            Next
            strB.Append("</thead>")
            'add data rows to html table
            For rowIndx As Integer = 0 To dt.Rows.Count - 1
                strB.Append("<tr>")
                For colIndx As Integer = 0 To dt.Columns.Count - 1
                    strB.Append("<td>")
                    strB.Append(dt.Rows(rowIndx)(colIndx).ToString())
                    strB.Append("</td>")
                Next
                strB.Append("</tr>")
            Next
            strB.Append("</table>")
           MSGReporting(strB.ToString)

You may have to append ControlChars.Lf (Line feed?) as well. If nothing else, just put the contents in a body tag, in an html tag and just use simple <br />
