Trouble with linebreaks in template used in mails

Hi!
I've made an extension, which (among other) sends email with content from a contentobject (xml-attribute). I've used the extension with success on a 3.6.1 installation, but on the current 3.7.3 it will not send email when there are linebreaks in the template(!!??). If I write everything in one line it sends without trouble.

Inserting the xml-attribute content (attribute_view_gui ..) causes the same problem. When outputing the content somewere else (not in mail) it all seems to be 100% perfect.

<b>Usefull info:</b>
Server runs LAMP php 4.4.2)
I develop on a Windows machine. I've tried saving template with linebreaks as lfcr (win) and lf (unix)
Mail is currently send via SMTP (because of some minor sendmail issues on server)

<b>Some code:</b>

$mail_tpl =& templateInit();
$mail_tpl->setVariable( 'settings_node', $settings_node );
$mailTemplateResult =& $mail_tpl->fetch( $mailTemplate ); //works. 

$confirmation_mail = new eZMail();
$confirmation_mail->setContentType( 'text/html', false, false, false );
(...)
$confirmation_mail->setBody( $mailTemplateResult ); // This is defenitly where the trouble shows
$mailResult = eZMailTransport::send( $confirmation_mail );

Any suggestion is highly appreciated!

Hi Roy

it will not send email

What's in $mailResult? Did you take a look in the SMTP server's log files?
