\n is not giving me a new line in my HTML

I'm writing a PHPEmailer file and I have isHTML set to true and I also have this to format my output:

$mail->Body = 
    "Name: " . $_POST['quote_name'] . 
    "\r\n\r\nCompany: " . $_POST['quote_company'] . 
    "\r\n\r\nPhone: " . $_POST['quote_phone'] . 
    "\r\n\r\nAddress: " . $_POST['quote_address'] . 
    "\r\n\r\nCity: " . $_POST['quote_city'] . 
    "\r\n\r\nState: " . $_POST['quote_state'] . 
    "\r\n\r\nZip: " . $_POST['quote_zip'] . 
    "\r\n\r\nInspirational Link: " . $_POST['quote_link1'] . 
    "\r\n\r\nInspirational Link: " . $_POST['quote_link2'] . 
    "\r\n\r\nInspirational Link: " . $_POST['quote_link3'] . 
    "\r\n\r\nInspirational Link: " . $_POST['quote_link4'] . 
    "\r\n\r\nProject Details: " . stripslashes($_POST['quote_details']);

But the email is coming out like this:

Name: John Doe Company: Coca Cola Phone: 5552345678 Address: 123 Main St City: New York State: NY Zip: 17011 Inspirational Link: Inspirational Link: Inspirational Link: Inspirational Link: Project Details: a sample text

What I want is each of those fields in its own line

When you set isHTML into true for PHPMailer, it would not take effect at output time, as you state in the comments to your question. It only sets the flag to send a header section indicating the e-mail is an HTML one: Content-type:text/html;, nothing else.

So what you actually need to do is to replace all your \r\n with <br> tag, otherwise you don't get your line breaks.

</br> is used to insert line breaks in HTML.

You can try it out here.

You can use <br/> instead of \r\n\r\n, since HTML is enabled.

If you want to use \r\n\r\n, you'll need nl2br():

<?php
    Body =  nl2br("\r\n\r\nCompany: ");
?>

Your email is set to html. Us a br tag instead.

"<br>Company: " . $_POST['quote_company'] .

\r\n in HTML doesnt mean anything; you need a <br> tag instead

edit:

\r\n could still be useful for readability of the source HTML, but it will not produce line breaks in the HTML output
