I am having trouble with new lines within e-mails. The new lines work up to the $message variable. I will talk you through my code. Could someone point out why the \n are being added to e-mails but they are being interpretted as plain text.

Message is stored as content variable as multiple functions require it. The validate function checks if the $_POST['content'] exists and returns "<em>'Message'</em>" if it isn't found. No string manipulation occurs within the validate function.
CODE
$this->content = $this->Validate(mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['content']), 'exists', "<em>'Message'</em>");


The send function is run. The relevant part of the send function is the following. The \n I specify up to the $message variable work fine. It is just the message itself which is the problem.
CODE
$message = $this->content;
$email_header = "From: $email_field\n"."Reply-To: $email_field\n"."MIME-Version: 1.0\n"."Content-type: text/plain;";
$email_header = stripslashes(strip_tags(trim($email_header)));
$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Phone:$phone_field\n Message:\n $message";


Any ideas why the \n within message is being interpreted as plain text?


EDIT: Moved mysql_real_escape_string to the db function
