Hi, I followed a tutorial on this site to make an email form in flash which calls upon a php file to send an email to an address. It all works and I receive the email but the problem I’m having is that when I read the email, in the body it includes all the text formatting as well as the actual email. For example:  
\<TEXTFORMAT LEADING=“2”\>\<P ALIGN=“LEFT”\>\<FONT FACE=“Antique Olive” SIZE=“10” COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”\>my message\</FONT\>\</P\>\</TEXTFORMAT\>\<TEXTFORMAT LEADING=“2”\>\<P ALIGN=“LEFT”\>\<FONT FACE=“Antique Olive” SIZE=“10” COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”\>this is a test\</FONT\>\</P\>\</TEXTFORMAT\>

I am not sure if this is a problem I am having with the flash file or the php file and I need to know how to stop the email being sent with all the formatting and just the message. Any ideas?
