 * Hi,
 * i’m using this plugin to post Mattermost Messages. For a line break i have to
   use \n but if i try to implement this the plugin removes the “\”. How can i escape
   the \?
 * Thanks and best Regards!

 * Hi, which Carrier is this about? Email, Webhook or custom?
 * For Email I’d suggest changing the message type to plain text, this should allow
   you to use backslashes

 * Sorry my fault. It’s a WebHook. I got a workaround: Just change the field directly
   in the Database 😀

 * Well, this is a rather brutal approach but if it works… 🙂
 * We are going to look at this anyway and patch in the plugin.
