Just use a \n on its own for a new line. Use two: \n\n if you want a
line space between paras. This works for me in both Windows and Mac in
every mail client I have tried.

Don't include any carriage returns in your quoted text and make sure
there's no space between your new line character and the next line of
text, or you'll get an annoying little one space indent in your output.

In other words, do this:

$output = "First line of text /nsecond line of text";

or this:

$output = "First line of text /n";
$output .= "second line of text";

and not this:

$output = "First line of text /n second line of text";
