Email--forms--formatting--HTML??

Question

I am trying to send email based on some events in my forms application. The email seems to work fine, with it being delievered right and the contents look fine. But the issue seems to be with formatting, if i send emails (using outlook via forms--SMTP) , the formatting is lost.
I have a variable called message which looks like this
message := 'line 1'||chr(10)||chr(13)'line2';
but this doesnt seem to work, i.e. when i read my email the message looks like
line1 line2
which is in the same line..is ther any other way of formatting such emails with indents, fonts etc. ?
any pointers on this would be appreciated
thanks
