Using escape characters(\n,\t and etc) in JSP

Question

Hi,
I need to format a jsp UI with out using any html code or CSS.
My end clients are having text based email utilities which does not support html or CSS. So I am generating a email template based on JSP by using session data for dynamic values.
Even though I am using escape char in the jsp it is not printing in new line. All information coming as a string in one shot with out formatting.
Code:
<%
footerContent.append("\r\nYou can visit the Store at");
footerContent.append(Global.getString("Store.Common.NewStoreURL"));
footerContent.append("If you have questions please email us at:"+Store.getContactInfo(GlobalConstants.EMAILADDDRESS)+"\r");
footerContent.append("or phone at "+Store.getContactInfo(GlobalConstants.PHONE));
%>
<%=footerContent.toString()%>

<%
StringWriter footer = new StringWriter();
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(footer);

pw.println("If you have questions please email us at:"+store.getContactInfo());
pw.println("or phone Order Administration at "+store.getContactInfo());

pw.println("Thank you for visiting"+Global.getStoreString());
String result = footer.getBuffer().toString();
%>

Out put :
"*********************************************************** You can visit the Store at @STORE_URL@If you have questions please email us at:[email protected] or phone Order Administration at 111 Monday through FridayMonday - Friday: 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific TimeThank you for visiting@COMPANY_URL@ ***********************************************************
