Adding multiple lines of body in script editor - google-apps-script

Question

I am currently using the following code in a spreadsheet to send emails.
// This constant is written in column C for rows for which an email
// has been sent successfully.
var EMAIL_SENT = "EMAIL_SENT";
function sendEmails2() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
var numRows = 2; // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells A2:B3
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 3)
// Fetch values for each row in the Range.
var data = dataRange.getValues();
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; ++i) {
var row = data[i];
var emailAddress = row[0]; // First column
var message = row[1]; // Second column
var emailSent = row[2]; // Third column
if (emailSent != EMAIL_SENT) { // Prevents sending duplicates
var subject = "Sending emails from a Spreadsheet";
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
sheet.getRange(startRow + i, 3).setValue(EMAIL_SENT);
// Make sure the cell is updated right away in case the script is interrupted
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
}
}
}
In the above the message is only being processed from a single cell while i want it to use multiple cells.
Example:
the second column contains the body to be sent
how can i tweak the same.

Answer 1

Put the message in a single cell and format it as you wish within that cell. i.e. if you want to skip down a line or 2 hold control and press return and the cursor will go to the next line.
Get the cell in the script.
When you send the email the formatting will be retained.

Answer 2

You can also use '\n\n'on the script message to jump rows.
