I need to also know how to create links and a bulleted list in the email as well as my attempts with html code inside the email have failed.

Use the wonderful function:

PHP Code:

---

$goodText = br2nl("badText"); 


---

It might help.

that is the abuse of the break-line tag.

anywhere he wants to have a new line insert the wildcard \n

Code:

---

$message = "This is \n some message.\n\t please refrain from doing that.";

---

would be displayed in the email as

Code:

---

This is
some message.
      please refrain from doing that.

It is. However, your proposed solution won't work since s/he evidently is sending HTML mail (also, \n is not a wildcard, it's an escape sequence: a wildcard is a character that matches a range of other characters, such as * in a DOS or bash). Instead, you need to wrap the offending text in a container with white-space: pre; like so:

Code:

---

$goodText = sprintf('<div style="white-space: pre;">%s</div>', $badText);
