MSBuild ReadLinesFromFile all text on one line

When I do a ReadLinesFromFile on a file in MSBUILD and go to output that file again, I get all the text on one line. All the Carriage returns and LineFeeds are stripped out.

<Project DefaultTargets = "Deploy"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" >
<Import  Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBuildCommunityTasks\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Targets"/>

<ItemGroup>
    <MyTextFile Include="$(ReleaseNotesDir)$(NewBuildNumber).txt"/>
</ItemGroup>

<Target Name="ReadReleaseNotes">
    <ReadLinesFromFile
        File="@(MyTextFile)" >
        <Output
            TaskParameter="Lines"
            ItemName="ReleaseNoteItems"/>
    </ReadLinesFromFile>
</Target>

<Target Name="MailUsers" DependsOnTargets="ReadReleaseNotes" >
    <Mail SmtpServer="$(MailServer)"
        To="$(MyEMail)"
        From="$(MyEMail)"
        Subject="Test Mail Task"
        Body="@(ReleaseNoteItems)" />
</Target>
<Target Name="Deploy">
    <CallTarget Targets="MailUsers" />
</Target>

</Project>

I get the text from the file which normally looks like this

- New Deployment Tool for BLAH

- Random other stuff()""

Coming out like this

- New Deployment Tool for BLAH;- Random other stuff()""

I know that the code for ReadLinesFromFile will pull the data in one line at a time and strip out the carriage returns.

Is there a way to put them back in? So my e-mail looks all nicely formatted?

Thanks
