phpmailer sends mail without subject and without line breaks

I use php curl() function to connect from server A to the mail server B to send mail.

$body = "body\n\nmore body\nmore body\n\nmore body\n\n";


$post = [
    'sendera' => $sender,
    'sender_name' => $sender_name,
    'subject'   => $subject,
    'body'   => $body,
    'recipient'   => $email,
    'recipient_name' => $name,
    'replyto' => $replyto
];

$ch = curl_init('http://example-mailserver.com');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);

curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT ,3);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

Mail is successfully sent but there are 2 problems.

Problem N 1

Mail arrive without line breaks, So, all \n are just plain text. Never have had this problem sending mail from the same server. Now when I send with curl(), this problem appears. Mail server have php7 installed. Should this be a php7 or curl() problem?

Problem N 2

Mail arrive without subject line, however $subject variable exists when script runs, I checked this by sending one more simple mail before calling PHPMailer() function.

So, why PHPMailer ignores $subject? I never have had this problem on the server A with php5.

mail('my@email', 'check if subject exists', $subject);

The mail above arrive with $subject variable. But the mail sent right after that with phpmailer does not have subject line.

$mail=new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsMail();
$mail->WordWrap   = 0; 
$mail->SingleTo = true;
$mail->IsHTML(false);
$mail->CharSet    = "utf-8";

$mail->From       = $sender;
$mail->FromName   = $sender_name;
$mail->Subject    = $subject;
$mail->Body       = $body;

$mail->AddAddress($recipient,$recipient_name);
$mail->AddReplyTo(#replyt,"No-Reply");

Subject problem

I installed the latest version of phpmailer and not I have Subject.

Line breaks

I had $body in single quotes:

body = 'this is body\r\n\r\nmore body';

I changed this to:

$body = "this is body\r\n\r\nmore body";

And now everything is OK.

Problem no. 1 might be due to the line breaks you are using. A \n is just one of two elements of a full line break, it's a 'newline'. Some mail systems/servers expect a full line break, which is \r\n, the \r in this case is a 'carriage return', the second element of a full line break.

Problem no. 2...first off: what's in your $subject?
