I have a mailer setup that will query a table and grab the contents
(body) of an email and dynamically create the email and send.

I am having problems creating the line breaks though from the carriage
returns in the dbase.

My Code looks something like this:

smtpMssg.Body =3D GetDescription(dtrResults.Item("msgBody"))

My function is:

Function GetDescription(ByVal Description As String) As String
    If Description.Length > 1 Then
        Description =3D Replace(Description, vbCrLf, "Chr(13)")
        Return Description
    End If
End Function

The problem is that the Chr(13) just writes out in the body of my email
instead of converting to line breaks.

Could someone tell me what I might do to get the mailmessage object to
recognize the chr(13) as a line break?

Thanks!

I would suggest removing the quotes from around the Chr(13):

    Description =3D Replace(Description, vbCrLf, Chr(13))

That should do the trick.
