How to add line breaks through java and outlook should accept line breaks

Question

I have a program in which I am sending the mail and my mail body is contains the following content..

abcParameters.put(defConstants.REPORT_MESSAGE, "Invalid file sent by tt. Hence ffgghh  was unable
                  to process it : " + s+ "\n" +e.getMessage().toString());

Now the issue is that outlook does not accept line breaks but I need line breaks afte the customised message and exception message so please advise how to achieve this

It's probably sending mail as HTML. Try `"
"` instead of `"\n"`. — pfyod, Jul 16 '13 at 11:09

This must be helpful for you. try "%0A" instead of "\n". The real source is here.

You need to add "%0A" where ever you need a new line in your code. In your case

 abcParameters.put(defConstants.REPORT_MESSAGE, "Invalid file sent by tt. Hence ffgghh  was unable
              to process it : " + s+ "%0A" +e.getMessage().toString());
