Default Formatting Emails with JavaScript

I have a webpage with a form which gathers information. When the form is
submitted, I take the form information and format the body of an email with
javascript.

In one of the more recent updates to IE, it opens OE (my default email
client) to send the email. Before the change, no client was opened and my
formated email was created correctly. At that point I was using a "\b" to
create a newline in the formated email.

Since the change in IE, OE doesn't seem to recognize the "\b" character as a
newline giving me a continuous string of data NOT the multiple lines of
formated data that I wanted.

I've used this same page in Mozilla and it opens it's own email client. In
Mozilla I use a "br" for a newline charater and the email formats into the
multiple lines of formated data.

Any ideas if there is an option in IE/OE to define newline characters or is
there another newline character value that IE/OE will recognize to give me
the multiple lines of formated data that I require?

Thanks,
Morrie
