How do you insert a new line into a message using EmailMessage (Django)

I'm using EmailMessage to send emails via Amazon SES in Django. I am currently having trouble inserting new lines in the message. "\n" does not seem to work

How do I go about doing this?

As an example, this is what I've tried:

subject= "Test email with newline" 
message = "%s %s is testing an email with a newline.  \nCheck out this link too: http://www.example.com" % (user.first_name, user.last_name)
from_string = "<[email protected]>"
email_message = EmailMessage(subject, message, from_string, [user.email])
email_message.send()

When I send this email I get: 

 Michael Smith is testing an email with a newline. Check out this link too: 
 http://www.example.com

However, I expected the email to be formatted like this:

Michael Smith is testing an email with a newline. 
Check out this link too: http://www.example.com

The better use is case it try sending html message where you can send email as html. There you can format your msg like whatever you want

You can use attach_alternative() and provide html - in your case <p> or <br> will do the trick.

or

from django.core.mail import EmailMessage

subject= "Test email with newline"
html_context = "%s %s is testing an email with a newline.  <br>Check out this link too: http://www.example.com" % (user.first_name, user.last_name)
from_string = "<[email protected]>"
msg = EmailMessage(subject,
                   html_context,
                   from_string,
                   [user.email])
msg.content_subtype = "html"
msg.send()
