Does the email send automatically when scanned?

No. Scanning opens the user's default mail app with the recipient, subject, and body pre-filled — the user still has to tap Send. That's a safety feature in iOS and Android.

Can I include line breaks in the email body?

Yes — qr-cow handles the newline escaping for you. Long bodies make the QR denser, so for anything over 200 characters consider linking to a contact form instead.
