[Zope] mailhost ques

[AM]

Hi,
I have the following command:
context.mail_host.send(messageText=msg, mto=e, mfrom='a@abc.com', 
subject=sub,encode='base64')

Now my msg is
msg = 'aaaaabbbbbbccccc'

If I do the following:
msg = 'this is from abc\n\n' + msg

The email sent has the chartacters '\' 'n' as is> I just cant seem to 
introduce a carraige returns in the body of the message. I tried \r and 
still the same

Why??
TIA

AM
