Trying to format an email alert, using macros, but the carriage return/line feeds are being ignored as entered into the body of the email.

For example:

Formatted like this in "Body" section of email:

Date: %A, %#d %B, %Y
Time: %H:M:%S
FPS: %f


Alert detected on camera: %s


But comes out like this in email:

Date: Tuesday, 5 August, 2014 Time: 11:02:32 FPS: 11.47 Alert detected on camera: Driveway

Is there some code that is used to force carriage return in an email?
 
In html, the "br" tag is for line breaks.

HTML:
<br />

or just

HTML:
<br>

Usually either one will work.

If you see it appear literally in the email, and not as a line break, then you probably can't enter HTML markup and you should contact the BI developer to see if he will do something about it.
