using loadfile and preserving the file formating.

[Dwayne Walker <wb...@gmail.com>]

I have a file that I wanted to load into the body of an email (as
opposed to attaching it) but when I use loadfile then include the
property name in the email message it strips all of the formating.

Is their some way to fix this? or perhaps using filterchain to convert
the linebreaks some how etc... this is also html email so converting
them to <br> would do. any rate does anyone have any suggestions or
ideas?

thanks guys.

Have you tried writing the entire message body to a file and then using the
messagefile attribute of <mail>? If you do this then the contents of the
listing file don't need to go through <loadfile>.
