What happens if you run a script that has only that line in it? Do you get returns then?

Also, what happens if you substitute linefeed for return, eg:

set theContent to linefeed & linefeed & linefeed & "eMam" & linefeed & "test"

Does that work when inside the outlook tell block?

Finally, what about if you manually type the enter/return key, eg

set theContent to "


eMam
test"
