in the language editor, every time changes are saved any escaped characters have a backslash added. for example:

Code
Hello, 

A new user has registered at {$config['COMMUNITY_TITLE']}. Here are the details of the user's profile:\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\n

Email Address: %s \\\\\\\\n
Display Name: %s \\\\\\\\n
IP Address: %s \\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\n

and in fact the escaped chars aren't even necessary in this context: i replaced them all with ordinary carriage returns, and thereby fix the problem. there's probably more though, lurking somewhere in the bowels of the program.

This is related to PHP's horribly awful various magicquotes settings that can be on or off. We catch most of them because we grab 90% of the variables through our own get_input function, but sometimes we reference $_GET or $_POST directly where these tend to pop up. I'll make sure we stripslashes where necessary for 7.0.1. Thanks for the report.
