E-Mail not breaking lines

[Adastra]

I'm sending an e-mail via a contact form, but somehow the lines aren't breaking in the text, it always looks like this:

 

lorem ipsum\r\n\r\dolor\r\n\r\n\r\sit\r\n\r\amet\r\n\r\n\r\lorem

 

 

Which is of course not readable at all. What am I doing wrong here? I'm using a few security checks and such for cleaning the field up;

$text = trim($text);
...
$text = stripslashes(strip_tags($text));
...
$text = mysql_real_escape_string($text);
.....

#and then the part where it's included in the message:
$message .= "Nachricht: {$text} \n";

 

Can any of those be causing the display problem?

When using single quotes u cant display \n as newline, but with double quotes it must be ok. I tried it with mysql_real_escape and addslashes and its displaying ok at me. Dont know whats going wrong...
