Nevermind. I forgot to add method="post" to the html page.

I have gotten it to work however I would like to add some formatting to
the email. Sent. I currently have:

$message = "$firstname $lastname .";
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "RMA Request", $message);

I have tried to add some html such as "$firstname $lastname
..."; however when I do this there is nothing displated in
the email message. 

I have also tried $message = echo "$firstname $lastname
..."; and got errors.

So then I figured I would try a function. And tried this:
Function prtmsg() {
echo "$firstname $lastname ...";
}
$message = prtmsg();

and again I get a bland email returned. Could someone kindly point out
what im missing?

Thanks Vinny
