When someone submits too much text in a field, it screws up the SMS system, and the SMS isn't sent. I need to find a way for it to cut off at say 50 characters, and then send the email to the SMS service that sends it very nicely. In other words, how do I cut off text at 50 characters server-side, before sending it with CFMail. Thanks, George C.
