i should correct my above statement...
<br> is a valid HTML tag...
<br/> is a valid XHTML tag... it will not work in some browsers, since <br/> is not a valid HTML
tag...
<br /> is a valid way to write the self-closing XHTML tag, and the space allows browsers that
dig HTML to understand it, and ignore the '/', which it treats as a new attribute and ignores...
so, if you change it to <br /> or <br> it should work...
i don't see many email client making the switch to XHTML, however... and if you have no DTD,
then it's all moot...
