At the code line:
$body .= "\nPersonal Message: " . $form_values['tellafriend_personal'] . "\n----------------------\n\n";

the \n new line chars do not work, as the sent email looks like this:

...Any word on your door handle parts? ---------------------- You are invited to check out...

should be:

...Any word on your door handle parts?
----------------------
You are invited to check out...

Still a bug?

I "fixed" this by changing the \n newlines to html line breaks (br). Not sure why the \n's don't work here but do in other places (webforms), but there you are. Hope this helps someone...

Still a bug I'd say. Message formatting is ignored and nothing starts on a new line. Are newlines stripped out of the text?

Does anyone have a fix? Is there a setting or a patch?
I can't use it at present as it gives a poor impression.

It's a Drupal Bug. Drupal uses the mimeheader "format=flowed" but many mailclients don't support this.
A quickfix is to insert
$body = str_replace( "\n" , "<br />" , $body );

in Line 446 (tellafriend.module), but this will transform the Mail from a text-mail to a html-mail.

I issued a drupal bug report:

I fix it by removing line 501 in tellafriend.module

this line:
$message['headers']['Content-Type'] = 'text/html; charset=utf-8';

Line breaks saved in mail body, and it displayed while Content-Type is set to "text/plain" (by default)
