Hi,

Firstly a big thanks to the Kirupa website and those who contribute, it has been an excellent reseource over the years - Thank you.

I have a small problem with my php/flash email. I used the template from Kirupa for the php form. Everything works ok, especially when i send it to my ISP’s webmail, however when I access it from Outlook, the actual message is surrounded my lots of tags and it’s a struggle to read the actual message.

This is the output i get for a message that only says ‘testing’:

\<TEXTFORMAT LEADING=“2”\>\<P ALIGN=“LEFT”\>\<FONT FACE=“Verdana” SIZE=“12” COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”\>testing\</FONT\>\</P\>\</TEXTFORMAT\>

and this was the template I used from your site:

\<?php  
$sendTo = “[jonh@mottresearch.co.uk](mailto:jonh@mottresearch.co.uk)”;  
$subject = “My Flash site reply”;  
$headers = "From: " . $\_POST[“sender\_name”];  
$headers .= “\<” . $\_POST[“sender\_email”] . "\>  
";  
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $\_POST[“sender\_email”] . "  
";  
$headers .= "Return-Path: " . $\_POST[“sender\_email”];  
$message = $\_POST[“sender\_message”];  
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);  
?\>

Is there a simple solution. Hope you can help.

Kind regards,

Oliver Mott
