Well, maybe I'm not certain. I hit the Return key in the email form. In all the other scripts I've used /n and it worked fine. I've tried /n and /r and neither work. I'm stumped. Here's what I'm doing.
Message field as it appears in database:
This is a test message.
This is line 2 of test message.
#This is how I'm getting it from the database...
$SQL="SELECT * FROM table WHERE name = '$name'";
&Do_SQL;
$pointer = $sth->fetchrow_hashref;
$message = $pointer->{'message'};
$message =~ s/\n/\<br\>/g;
Output:
This is a test message. This is line 2 of test message.
If I View Source it shows:
This is a test message.
This is line 2 of test message.
I'm wondering if I have to do something special before it gets stuffed in the database, but I don't think so. I'm doing it the same way I always have.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
