in my case, I had 2 messages ... so yeah, you would only see 2. Let's say you had 5 ... then it would display as follows, each message on a new line (or line break between them so they don't string together)

Subject: Message from foo (from [email protected])
Subject: Message from bar (from [email protected])
Subject: Message from bat (from [email protected])
Subject: Message from bazz (from [email protected])
Subject: Message from buzz (from [email protected])

Looks like it's a moot point, either terminal-notifier or Notification Center appears to strip out all line breaks no matter how you format it.

I guess that's the answer I was looking for ... I tried a bunch of options and didn't have any luck. Thanks for the time, really appreciated. Congrats on going out on your own BTW, I'm a paid subscriber :)
