Hi, I have a unittest and I want to send the result to Slack as email.  
It works but formatting is bad due to missing EOL.

How it looks in Slack:  
======================================= Attracs DUnitX Test Results ======================================= Test Run Date/Time: 2025-10-31 05:38:04 Test Statistics: ----------------------------------- Total Tests: 170 Passed: 156 Failed: 0 Errors: 0 Ignored: 14 Memory Leaks: 0 Duration: 350,325 seconds Success Rate: 91,8% Overall Result: ----------------------------------- ✓ ALL TESTS PASSED ======================================= ![](https://www.finalbuilder.com/forums/uploads/default/original/2X/2/2daeaa8b5f19f0bc209d976c02bd6acb51b00b0a.gif)

My implementation:  
The testproject save result to a separate textfile UnitTestResult.txt  
The file like this:

I have an action Read text file that read in the file to a variable.  
The variable is then included en email body to Slack. But EOL is lost.  
Is there a better way to do this ?

If you send the email to yourself does the text look correct? I don’t have the ability to test emailing to slack.
