I found the email content is rather messy when there are multiple products in there. This happens when customer buy some products, and he/she will get email confirmation. Example email:
Produk:
1x Jualan Online dengan Quick.Cart (PDF) (Artikel (PDF)) Rp2.000 1x Jualan Online dengan PrestaShop (PDF) (Artikel (PDF)) Rp2.000 1x Cara Instal Magento di Komputer Sendiri (PDF) (Artikel (PDF)) Rp3.000 1x Magento Commerce untuk Jualan Online (PDF) (Artikel (PDF)) Rp2.000 1x Cara Instal WordPress di Komputer Sendiri (PDF) (Artikel (PDF)) Rp5.000 1x Mengubah Tema Standar WordPress (PDF) (Artikel (PDF)) Rp2.000 1x Cara Pakai WordPress untuk Jualan Online (PDF) (Artikel (PDF)) Rp2.000 1x Jualan Online dengan WordPress (PDF) (Artikel (PDF)) Rp2.000
I was testing this, login as customer and buy 10 products from my online store. Look at the email content above, we don't know how many products in there because all are written as single line.

That shouldn't be how it comes out.
I get:
Payment Method:
PayPal
Shipping Method:
Free Shipping
Products:
1x Product 1 (product_1) $5.00
1x Product 2 (product_2)$25.00
1x Product 3 (product_3)$20.00
1x Product 4 (product_4)$30.00
Totals:
Sub-Total: $80.00
Free Shipping: $0.00
Total: $80.00
I may have improved it with the enhanced email mod, but even before that they've always listed.

Yes I know source code doesn't lie. I saw "\n" in the source code of email content to mark the end of line of every product in product listing.
And you are right. That's the output that should be displayed.
This is a kind of weird, because I got it messed-up. I'm showing you the email content in an image:
But then I suspect that the problem doesn't belong to OpenCart, but somewhere else. My primary suspect is my Outlook 2007.
Then I opened my gmail account to view the email inside its browser email viewer. And it look good.
So, it's my Outlook 2007 that doesn't display the text message properly.

It's clear now that Outlook 2007 threat some line-breaks as extra line-breaks, so it removes all extra line-breaks automatically.
Now I can see the proper message in Outlook 2007 by restoring all extra line-breaks.
Hmmm, it's a kind of weird behavior of Outlook 2007, trying to act smart, but it turns out to be so dumb.
