Emailing results of task trouble

PowerShell Help
1

Hey All

Currently I have ran into a problem with the way my results are reading when sending email containing what was captured.

#Pull in email showing approvals
Function Global:Get-Email {
Param(
[String]$Folder = "InBox",
[String]$Test ="Subject",
[String]$Compare = "Group Access"
    )
Process{
$Folder = $Folder
Add-Type -Assembly "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook"
$Outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$Namespace = $Outlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
$NameSpace.Folders.Item(0)
$Email = $NameSpace.Folders.Item(1).Folders.Item($Folder).Items
Clear-Host
Write-Host "Trawling through Outlook, please wait ...."
$Email | Where-Object {$_.$Test -match $Compare} | Sort-Object -Property `
@{Expression = "Unread";Descending=$true}, `
@{Expression = "Subject";Descending=$true} `
| select subject | Out-String
$Output = $Email | Where-Object {$_.$Test -match $Compare} | Sort-Object -Property `
@{Expression = "Unread";Descending=$true}, `
@{Expression = "Subject";Descending=$true} `
| select subject | Out-String
Write-Host "Sending Email containing results"
Send-MailMessage -SmtpServer 'smtp.youremail.com' -To 'youremail@youremail.com'  -From 'youremail@youremail.com' -Subject "Automated Approval Report" -Body "$Output" -BodyAsHtml -Priority High -ErrorAction Stop
    } # End of main section 'Process'
}
Get-Email  #-Compare false

Gives me this Output, which is correct, the email just reads wrong, explained below

Trawling through Outlook, please wait …

Subject

Group Access - Order# 0000000 has been APPROVED
Group Access - Order# 0000001 has been APPROVED

However the email that is sent looks like this:
Subject ------- Group Access - Order# 0000000 has been APPROVED Group Access - Order# 0000000 has been APPROVED

I would like it to look like this:
Group Access - Order# 0000000 has been APPROVED
Group Access - Order# 0000001 has been APPROVED

That’s because you’ve specified that the body is HTML. In HTML, carriage returns are ignored. The problem is that you haven’t actually provided HTML. I’d consider removing -BodyAsHTML. Or, run your output through ConvertTo-HTML (using -Fragment) before Out-String, if HTML is actually your desire.

Also, you should consider switching to Write-Verbose for your “status” messages.

Those are some good tips, i will test them out and post my results, still learning so all the help is very appropriated!

So i have taken -bodyashtml
My result is now better but i cannot get it to split the string, going to do some research, below is the return i get in email

Subject

Group Access - Order# 2132098 has been APPROVED Group: GG$NSC-ID Administration - User: lentzk1 Group Access - Order# 2132098 has been APPROVED Group: GG$NSC-ID Administration - User: dawsoa2
