newline issue in XSL transformation

Hi,

I am creating a .csv file from an xml element.
My XML and XSL work fine, and it creates the file correctly. But when i open the CSV file within excel each line is two rows.

Data data Data
BLANK ROW
Next Data Data Data

in my .xsl file i am applying a for each with
<xsl:value-of select="Email_Address"/>
<xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="Other record"/>
<xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>

Maybe i am using the incorrect newline charactor but any attempt i try results in the same problem.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
