I have a contact flash/php form set up on my website. All works great except the the From: header in the email I receive contains strings related to the web host and a buch a html type code:

\<mailto:\<TEXTFORMAT LEFTMARGIN=“6” RIGHTMARGIN=“6”\>\<P ALIGN=“LEFT”\>\<FONT  
FACE=“Verdana” SIZE=“12” COLOR="#FFFFFF" LETTERSPACING=“0”  
KERNING=“0”\>[name@domain.com](mailto:name@domain.com)\</FONT\>\</P\>\</TEXTFORMAT\>\>

The name of the sender and the message itself are fine.

Any ideas?
