Question : add line spaces within a VBA email message

How do you add line spaces within a VBA email message when vbLf doesn't work?  For example, I have the below code but all spaces are ignored:
.Subject = "Par Plan Reimbursement Details"
            .HTMLBody = (FirstnameC) & ",   " & vbLf & _
            vbCrLf & "attached is the detail Par Plan Reimbursement report(s) and spreadsheet(s), for servicing our members.  " & _
            "The check should arrive within the next couple of business days.  If you have any questions, please contact " & _
            "Bill Smith at (123) 456-7899 or email [email protected].  " & vbLf & _
            (vbCr & vbLf & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Thank you for servicing our customers.")
            .Attachments.Add pathname & [rstTables].[Contact] & ".zip"

Answer : add line spaces within a VBA email message

If you use the HTMLBody property, then you have to use HTML tags for formatting and for paragraph breaks.

If you use the Body property instead, your code will work as expected.
