Email and <return> problem

i am using a PHP script to control my email function on my site.

just like this one at http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm

it loads into a dynamic text box with mutli-line on.

however, in the body of the email message -

[color=red]if you hit <return> - any text written after the return will not show up in the email body that i receive in my email box.[/color]

this is the piece of my PHP script that controls the body of email:

// now we can add the content of the message to a body variable

$body = $_POST[“message_txt”]; //message text is my variable name of dynamic text box

// once the variables have been defined, they can be included
// in the mail function call which will send you an email

mail($sendTo, $subject, $body, $headers);

any workarounds on this <RETURN> issue ??
