Insert today date in Email Body

I want to have the body of the Email like below using the Email Tool.

 

Good Morning,

 

Please find attached report for <TODAY>.

 

Regards

 

Where <TODAY> will be today's date.

I managed to do it using Action Tool and Update Value with Formula. However, I cannot get the new lines to appear as desired in Outlook. I tried \n and &#10;&#13; both.

 

Any suggestions are welcomed.

You could have a Formula tool with todays date as a value followed by a Report Text tool to create the email body and use that body in the Email tool!
