"\r\n"; $mail->Body .= sprintf(__t("Email: %s",true),Sanitize::getString($this->data['Inquiry'],'email')) . "\r\n"; // add the line below $mail->Body .= sprintf(__t("Phone number: %s",true),Sanitize::getString($this->data['Inquiry'],'phone')) . "\r\n"; $mail->Body .= sprintf(__t("Listing: %s",true),$listing_link) . "\r\n\r\n"; $mail->Body .= $this->data['Inquiry']['text'];
