It doesn't matter. I'll just cut-and-paste it from the email and
usually end up reformatting anyway since I'll quote it as the reason
for the pull (ie it normally gets indented etc).
I just reacted to the fact that yours was so odd. It was the two
characters "\n", so not even just a newline, but literally those two
characters.
That was a first to me. People often end up just putting a few filler
words (like "fs updates" or whatever) unless they then write the whole
message in there.
So it looked odd, but as long as the explanation is somewhere, it
doesn't really matter.
