Coding formfeeds in email with Javascript

I am working on a JavaScript web form (for IE 4 or 5) that can be used to
compose a short e-mail notification for Interlibrary Loan. However, the
"\r\n" which is properly plain-text encoded as "%0D%0A" by the script is
ignored or discarded when the message is inserted into a new mail form in
Outlook Express or Outlook, so that the body of the message is one wrapped
line. I've tried many things, and looked at many other scripts that use the
same code, but have the same (unmentioned) problem. Has anyone else worked
on a script where you had to figure this out?

A copy of the working file is at

TIA,
