Before my DA install, I used sendmail, and e-mail sent in my vBulletin forum looked like this:

Now, with the Exim sendmail installed with DA, they look like this:

Can someone help?

Hello,

That's odd. We use vBulletin ouselves (you're looking at it) with exim and emails show up fine. Perhaps there is an html option the was enabled in vB?

If html is enabled, a newline doesn't do anything unless there is a <br>, as all html programmers know. So with html emails you must include them to get a newline to show up correctly. Check and see if html emails are checked, and try turning them off. (This should be a vB issue anyway, becaue exim just sends the data it's sent.

I couldn't find an option like that, but I read up on Exim's docs, and I changed the sendmail line in my php.ini to:

sendmail -t -i -dropcr

and it fixed the problem...
