Can't use `send_sms` with a body that includes the newline ('\n') character #21

title says it all.

client.send_sms(number, "a" + "\n" + b)

yields

pytextnow.TNAPI.FailedRequest: Could not send message. server returned a Client error. Request Failed. Try resetting your authentication with client.auth_reset()
Status Code: 400

yes it is possible to include newlines when sending messages. I would suggest using f-strings when composing a message since its easy to format string and faster than using the + method

msg = f'a \\n {b}'

@leogomezz4t i think this issue can be closed

thank you @bryanperez43. I think to add a newline character you have to use \\n instead of \n

Thanks for the workaround! Slightly concerned that there might be some vulnerability here involving unescaped characters, but not sure that folks care since it's a personal project. Don't think I care :)
