C# send Email line break in body ignored when using command line

Question

I am using C# MailMessage library to send email but I am facing issues when trying to call this .exe from command line with line breaks in it, it ignores the lines breaks. Can anyone help to find the root cause?

Answer 1

The answer depends on the terminal you are using. For example, with bash, you would specify your string using single quotations, preceded by $, for example:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    foreach (var arg in args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(arg);   
    }
}

> SomeApp.exe $'One\r\n\r\nTwo\r\n\r\n'
One

Two

Unfortunately I'm not sure about other terminals/operation systems and dont have the ability to test them.
