I actually knew that :-)

What the line does is to escape the '<' and '>' symbols in plain text

I'm not sure why it was ever commented out. All credit to Vircom for
responding on this quickly though.

Hi Suneel,

Thanks I should have just done that in the first place.  :)

The only difference is one line has been uncommented:
strMsg = MakeSafe(strMsg)
