Confirmation email whitespace problems in outlook

[severicasserly]

It seems that outlook drops linebreaks and other whitespace from the user modifiable part of confirmation emails.

At the moment the email is generated with pug and this "Vahvistus sähköpostiin" field is turned into one <p>aragraph. The formatting is preserved with a css attribute white-space: pre-line which is not supported in outlook.

I have tested this with our own fork, but could someone confirm the problem?

A possible solution, before sending the message replace linebreaks with <br/>, have done so in a few other projects:

message.value.replace(/(?:\r\n|\r|\n)/g, '<br>')
