HI,
Try the following code, add <br> in your code;
<?
$to = '
sriram.s@db.com';
$subject = 'Problem with '. $sysname;
$message = 'Name :'. $name . '<br><br> Problem with :' . $sysname .'<br><br> Problem Details :' . $problem . '<br><br> Phone Num :' . $phnum;
$headers = 'From:
sriram_s_98@yahoo.com';
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
Thanks

break; is for php

Shailendra, I already tried <br>, but it was displaying the br as well.
I will break and see.
Thanks mat and congrats on your 200.
Keep it up.

Guys break gave me an error.
"\n" worked finally.
Thanks for the help and effort.
Good luck
