Web Config and regular string literal

I am trying to keep the body of an email message in the web.config, something
like
"We have received ..... blah.. blah.. \n Thank you, \n ... some whitty
closing line".

Anyway, when I read this it is always coming back as a verbatim string
literal and the email contains the escape chars (\n). How can I make this a
regular string literal so that the email body will recognize the escape
characters?

Thank you

somestring.Replace(@"\n",Convert.ToChar(10).ToString())

Fixed it. Thanks gotdotnet
