emails on mainframe

dear all,
i send an email from mainframe with put statements.
This works fine, but all lines are on one single line in the mail.
I tried to put '0A'x in between but it does not help.
Any suggestions???

The font in the mail is also plain times roman.
Can this be defined in the sas program?

Regards,
Herman

Herman -
If it is really an IBM mainframe running EBCDIC character set then I
do not think that inserting ASCII linefeed will help.

You need to talk with the support for your mainframe about what type
of mail it supports. Perhaps you can send HTML codes mixed in with
your text? Try putting out '<' 'b' 'r' '>' instead of ASCII linefeed.
(I typed it with extra quotes like that in the hope that the email I
am using will not try to interpret it as the HTML break command.)

The trouble may also be with the receiver. I have sent plain text
email from Unix and it works fine when received by Outlook. But when I
try to forward it Outlook changes the filetype and the nice fixed
space font is replaced by porportional font like Times Roman and the
columns in the report no longer line up.
