Hey guys!  
I followed the brilliant tutorial on contact forms that sends out an email to a specified email address ( [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash\_php\_email.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_email.htm) ) which worked fine when testing with original source.

But when I take it into my own movie, the information that the email-recipient gets has formatting tags in it like this:

Navn: \<P ALIGN=“CENTER”\>\<FONT FACE=“Y2K Neophyte” SIZE=“12” COLOR="#515151" LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”\>Emil\</FONT\>\</P\>  
Tlf. nr.: \<P ALIGN=“CENTER”\>\<FONT FACE=“Y2K Neophyte” SIZE=“12” COLOR="#515151" LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”\>533-4232\</FONT\>\</P\>  
Dato: \<P ALIGN=“CENTER”\>\<FONT FACE=“Y2K Neophyte” SIZE=“12” COLOR="#515151" LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”\>2/5/2010\</FONT\>\</P\>  
Antal personer: \<P ALIGN=“CENTER”\>\<FONT FACE=“Y2K Neophyte” SIZE=“12” COLOR="#515151" LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”\>2\</FONT\>\</P\>  
Bord nr.: \<P ALIGN=“CENTER”\>\<FONT FACE=“Y2K Neophyte” SIZE=“12” COLOR="#515151" LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”\>2\</FONT\>\</P\>

This is what I get on my email. How do I turn the formatting off, so it’s just plain text?

Thank you very much!!
