When using newline in message block on share / send email the newlines is printed as   
. Anyone knows a workaround.  
(This is only on ios, Android works as expected)

Thank you for your suggestion, but \r is just written as \r in the body.  
I have tried \n but that is converted to   
 like the newline.

Then try %0A

This is the new line in html hex code.

I have found this page, that indicates that it is a problem with iOS 14.6+  
[https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/681023](https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/681023)

It seems like apple has removed support for rich content, such as HTML, for mailto links from iOS 14.6+

So my guess is that there is no workaround for it.
