FORM FIELDS sent to an EMAIL

hi!
i’m creating a flash-based website with form fields that send the variables to an email address (via a php).

however, the email has been containing the font codes (ie, color “000000”, font “gotham”, etc) in addition to the actual variable information:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING=“2”><P ALIGN=“LEFT”><FONT FACE=“Gotham-Book” SIZE=“12” COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”>shaunkess@gmail.com</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
<<TEXTFORMAT LEADING=“2”><P ALIGN=“LEFT”><FONT FACE=“Gotham-Book” SIZE=“12” COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”>10016</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>>

any suggestions on how i can solve this problem? i just want the actual variables sent to the email…

any help would be great, thanks!!!
