No <return> allowed in message body of scheduled report

When you create or edit a report schedule (under workflows), and would like to modify the message body of the email message such that something meaningful is added to the report attachment, then you cannot use a <return> to start a new line.
If you do,  you will get the error message " Error in scheduling parameters:  null", which is not telling you what's wrong...
