Is there a way to insert a CF/LF into the text of a data area?

I am using a data area to contain standard text that will be inserted into
the body of an email for problem reporting. The problem I have is that the
text is inserted as one stream. Is there a way to type a CR/LF into the
data area text, so that when the email is sent it is formatted better?

In the below code snippet, the EM_DTA field is populated from a data area.

Message = EM_DTA +
'The image processing received an error while +
validating the ZIP file. The ZIP file with internal
+
name of ' + %trim(IntZipName) + ' did not contain
the +
expected image ' + %trim(CFFJES) + '. Processing +
was stopped.';
SndGmail(NORM_EMAIL:'Manager':EDI_EMAIL:'EDI Support':
Subject:Message:EmailError);

The EM_DTA data area looks something like this, and is used by the email
recipient to forward the email after review.

TO: customerservice@xxxxxxxx
COPY: support@xxxxxxxx, name@xxxxxxx
SUBJECT: Transmission issue with XXX (XXXXXXXX)
BODY: Please open a XXX SR Ticket # for the problem detailed below.
Client/Company Code = XXXXXXXXX
Severity Level = Level 3
Route to: DIS-Professional_Services
Customer Contact(s) to receive status: Manager,
xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx, 410-555-1212
Problem Details:

I want to have the text look like that in the email, but when I get the
actual email the body looks like this:

TO: customerservice@xxxxxxxx COPY: support@xxxxxxxx, name@xxxxxxxx
SUBJECT: Transmission issue with XXX (XXXXXXXXX) BODY:
Please open a XXX SR Ticket # for the problem detailed below.
Client/Company Code = XXXXXXXXXXXXX Severity Level = Level 3
Route to: DIS-Professional_Services Customer
Contact(s) to receive status: Manager, xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
410-555-1212 Problem Details: Index file
index_11162009160804.txt was received from XXXX that produced an
exception. The exception code was RCDCNT Job: 546753/XXXUSER/XXX_TEST

I've tried alt sequences, but I can't seem to find one that gives me a
CR/LF.
