Sendresults command strips carriage return. How to add the line break back into my results when sending the email?

I am running a stats query using the example command below. For this example, "field2" is a multivalue field. When not including the sendresults command, I am able to see the groupings where field2 has a carriage return. (which is what I want)

stats list(field1), list(field2) by manager, fullname

manager1 fullname1 field1 field2
manager2 fullname2 field1 field2A
field2B
manager2 fullname3 field1 field2

However, when adding the sendresults command to the end of that query, the carriage return is removed and my results in field2 are now separated by a space.

stats list(field1), list(field2) by host, os | eval email_to=manager | sendresults ...

manager1 fullname1 field1 field2
manager2 fullname2 field1 field2A field2B
manager2 fullname3 field1 field2

Any idea how to add the line break back into my results when sending the email?

Thanks

We have sorted out what the issue is and will be releasing an updated version of the command soon.

Have you had any luck? Thanks.

It's most likely caused by newlines and the HTML used to render the email message. I will do some testing and get a more formal answer.

I can find documentation for sendresults. I'm wondering, are you using the sendemail command ?

I am using the App sendresults. Below are the variables I am using. This will recurse through my results and email each manager their employee results.

| eval email_to=manager | sendresults subject="Test." showemail=f
