I have a simple flash/php contact form as per the script below:

PHP:

```auto
<?
$sendTo = "info@mydomain.com";
$subject = "email signup";
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["email"];
$message = $_POST["email"];
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

```

Flash Submit Button:

```auto
on (release) {
	_root.fields.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
	_root.fields.emailInput.text = "< email address >";
	_root.fields.emailInput.hscroll = 0;
	_root.fields.emailInput.onSetFocus = function() {
		if (this.text == "< email address >") {
			this.text = "";
		}
	};
}

```

Everything works fine except this is the message I get emailed:

```auto
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING=\"2\"><P ALIGN=\"CENTER\"><FONT FACE=\"Arial\" SIZE=\"10\" COLOR=\"#999999\" LETTERSPACING=\"0\" KERNING=\"0\">testing@testing.com</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>

```

It’s not too bad as the email address is embedded in all the html stuff, but does anything know what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks.
