add_folder_member custom_message removes return characters

We've using the add_folder_member part of the v2 API and we've got a custom_message that contains return characters - so paragraphs. 

 

When the request is emailed to the end user, the returns are stripped out of the text, and it's then flowed over a single line.

 

There doesn't seem to be a way to encode returns so they appear.  Is this a bug or intentional?

 

Thanks,
Nick

    Thanks for the post! I don't believe we officially support any formatting like this for the message, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
