You misunderstand - that wasn't a fix for the problem, that was so we could
diagnose what the problem was.

Nope, that should be text/plain. It'll be easier to read.

Get rid of that line. Run the CGI from a browser through the web

we'll explain the problem. Something is happening in your email subroutine
that is causing output to go to the web server, and we need to see what it is.
